To fit

Use 30 05 600 Adhesive kit when gluing window panes. To avoid confusion when cleaning and priming, the tube caps are different colors.

The car must be standing on all four wheels on a level surface when fitting the window. In order to obtain as good a result as possible, it is essential that all cleaned and primed surfaces are kept free from dirt while work is in progress. The same applies to the adhesive when being applied. Consequently, work must progress without interruption until the window has been fitted and the adhesive hardened. The adhesive will start to harden as soon as the contents of both tubes has been mixed together. The window must then be in place within 5 minutes from when the adhesive was first applied. Note that steps 6-10 must be carried out in exactly the given order so that a satisfactory result is obtained with maximum adhesion.

1. Cut down the adhesive on the tailgate to a height of max 2mm. Use the cutting tool supplied with the removal kit. The adhesive on the old window must also be cut down to max 2 mm if it is to be refitted. Old, well-adhered glue provides a good base for the new adhesive. Loose adhesive on glass and metal surfaces must be removed.

2. Remove loose particles and dirt from the metal flange with a vacuum cleaner.
3. Repair any paint work damage as follows:
   • Scrape off any loose flakes of paint with a knife.
   • Clean using Teroson cleaning agent FL.
   • Apply primer. Use Standox 1K Fullprimer.
   • Apply the finish coat.
     IMPORTANT: The paint work must be kept intact so that rust does not form. An insufficient repair to paint work can also lead to layers of paint work flaking under the adhesive bead.
4. If the old adhesive is missing or is not intact, apply primer to the painted surfaces of the tailgate with which the adhesive comes into contact. Use Betaprime 5061 (green)  .
   IMPORTANT: Never apply body primer on old adhesive. Body primer must only be used if old adhesive is missing.
5. Position the lifting handles on the outside of the window and place the window on a stand to obtain a suitable working height.
6. Apply Betawipe 4001 (blue)  , which is included in the adhesive kit. Do not use any other cleaner. Wet the edge carefully. Dry it with the lint-free cloth included in the adhesive kit. Avoid touching the surface.
7. Apply the adhesive as follows:
   • Cut off the tip of the glue cartridge nozzle to obtain a suitable shape.
   • Adjust the pressure of the glue gun.
   • Hold the gun at right angles to the window and apply a bead of adhesive on the encapsulation around the rear window. Make sure there are no gaps in the adhesive.
     IMPORTANT: The adhesive starts to cure as soon as the contents of the two tubes is mixed. Fit the window glass within 5 minutes of starting to apply the bead of adhesive.
8. Put the window in place. Start by positioning it at the top using the window guide pin.

17. Fit the parcel shelf.
18. Carefully close the tailgate without locking it.
