Remove the stepwell handles on the window
side.

4.

Remove the plastic cover strips on the inside
of the windscreen pillars (A-pillar).

5.

Protect the curved areas on the outside of
the windscreen frame with linen tape. Also
use tape to protect the plastic parts on the
inside and the defroster openings of the
heating and ventilation system.

Note:
Take care not to damage the paint.

6.

Put the wire, special tool (DAF no. 1329415),
approximately in the middle of the top edge
and in the middle of the bottom edge of the

9.

Use tape strips to protect the glass from
falling out accidentally (after the sealant has
been cut through).

10. Start cutting in the middle. Make sure the

wire is kept moving and tightly stretched all
the time. If the wire gets twisted, it will
inevitably break.

11. Keep the cutting wire as close as possible to

the edge of the glass.

12. Make sure the wire ends are crossed before

the bottom corners are reached.

13. Remove the windscreen using the two

rubber suction pads, special tool
(DAF no. 0484800), from the window frame.

14. Remove any remaining sealant in the

window frame with a scraper, special tool
(DAF no. 1329417). Make sure the
remaining layer of sealant has a thickness of
at most 1 - 1.5 mm and that it is flat and
smooth.

15. Remove the dashboard panel at the top.

16. Remove frayed pieces and granules of old

sealant and clean the frame thoroughly.

17. Check that the upper and lower edges of the

windscreen frame in the cab body are
parallel.

Important tips
-

If the new glass is fitted at a later time, the
old, fully cured sealant should be cleaned
with the specified activator 15 minutes
before the glass is fitted, to ensure proper
adhesion, see "Technical data".

-

Immediately remove any spilt activator or
splashes from painted areas using paper
towels or tissues.

-

Any damage to the paint on the window
frame should be repaired immediately with
the right type of paint, well before the new
windscreen is fitted.

-

Always work in a clean area.

-

Tolerance (c) between the rubber
windscreen trim and the bottom of the
marker lights must be 2 mm.

-

Wear industrial gloves or use a special hand
cream.

-

Preferably use paper towels or tissues
instead of cleaning rags.
