3.1 Preparation

Position the windscreen or rear window on a universal work top or secure the components on a tool trolley using suction lifters.

Attach two suction lifters to the outsides of the window glass in the event of storage on a universal work top.

According to its size, fix side and door window glass onto the tool trolley using suction lifters or special tool 51 3 220 and set down on a suitable support.

Always keep the suction faces of the window glass suction lifters dry and clean.

NOTE: If accessibility is restricted, insert the window glass on a trial basis.

Bond two yellow plastic adhesive tapes (1) approx. 400 mm in length to the roof.

(A) = 250 mm

Only the yellow plastic adhesive tape may be used to fix the window glass.

The glass will slip down if other adhesive tapes are used.

Window glass slippage will result in leaks and wind noises.
