For this purpose remove remaining adhesive when reusing window. Do not leave more than 1 mm, remove loose glue residues (not completely cut off). This prevents leaks.
- Primer onto connecting flanges that are no longer accessible after installing side roof paneling.
Do not apply primer on top of residual adhesive. Otherwise, the adhesive effect will be impaired.
