Preparing the window section for installation

    When removing remaining adhesive -10-  with the cutter -C-  and the flashing knife -D-  on the hardtop body, ensure that a surface coating of adhesive remains -11-  .

    NOTE:
    • The surface coating of adhesive residue helps new adhesive to stick. Keep cut surfaces clean and free of grease and do not clean with cleaning solution.
    • Remove remaining adhesive between the rivet connections as much as possible without damaging the rivet connections.
  2. Cleaning and priming paint damage or newly built-up paint areas in the window aperture of the hardtop body

    Clean new paint areas or damage to the top coat paint in the non-visible area of the glass section in the hardtop body with cleaning solution -H1-  and patch with primer -H2-  .

    • A ventilation period of at least 10 minutes must be observed between the cleaning of the glass section and the application of the primer!
    • No cleaning solution residues may remain on the body.
