Caution

••••

To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door
is closed, open all of the windows and leave them open until the sealant has hardened.

1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1—2 mm {0.04—0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains around

the circumference of the frame.

•

If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it 30
minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm {0.08 in} layer.

Warning

••••

Using a razor with bare hands can cause
injury. Always wear gloves when using a
razor.

2. Clean and degrease an approximately 50.0 mm

{1.97 in} wide strip around the circumference of
the glass and the bonding area on the body.
