    NOTE: The remaining adhesive helps new adhesive to stick. Keep cut surfaces clean and free of grease and do not clean with cleaning solution.
  2. Fitting surrounding section and cover section

    Place surrounding section -9-  on the windscreen and press cover section -1-  into the groove of the surrounding section.
