WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
PUR on body flange
- After the window has been removed, the surplus PUR glue on the body flange must be removed using H cleaner.
CAUTION:
Do not use any cleaner other than H cleaner: Other cleaning agents affect the adhesion.
- If the surface is uneven, a chisel with width approximately 13 mm/0.5 in may be used to even out the remaining PUR bead.
- Do not touch the PUR bead with your hands. Grease on PUR can cause adhesion problems.
Plate work
- If some of the window frames have been painted, the body flange must be coated with paint primer (Component number 1161386).
- If 2-component glue is used, the window must be in place within 10 minutes .
- Ensure that the bead is continuous without break, otherwise the joint will not be tightly sealed which will result in water leakage.
- Always open a side window when replacing a window, otherwise the window may fall out of position when the door is closed.
