4.12 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION, SLEEPER CAB SIDE WINDOW/REAR

Note:
The removal procedure for the rear window is
identical to that of the side window. Therefore,
only removal and installation of the side window
is described here.

Removing sleeper cab side window

Note:
Take care not to damage the paint.

1.

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
window frame using pliers or a special pull-
through needle, special tool
(DAF no. 1240458), through the sealant.

Note:
Remove the wire pull-through needle before
fitting the wire ends to the handles of the
cutting wire set.

2.

The length of the cutting wire should be 1.5
times the height of the window.

3.

Then attach the accessory handles, special
tool (DAF no. 0499817), to the cutting wire.

4.

5.

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.

6.

Keep the cutting wire as close as possible to
the edge of the glass.

7.

Make sure the wire ends are crossed before
the bottom corners are reached.

8.

Remove the glass using a suction pad,
special tool (DAF no. 0484800), from the
window frame.

9.

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.

10. Remove frayed pieces and granules of old

sealant and clean the frame thoroughly.

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
glass is fitted.

-

Always work in a clean area.

-

Wear industrial gloves or use a special hand
cream.

-

Preferably use paper towels or tissues
instead of cleaning rags.

Installing sleeper cab side window
1.

Make sure that the guide rail is smooth and
flat (no major irregularities).

2.

Check the side window for damage.

3.

Attach a rubber suction pad, special tool
(DAF no. 0484800), to the outside of the
window.

4.

Put the glass with the suction pads on a
completely clean workbench.

5.

Fit the rubber trimming to the glass and
secure it with tape on the outside of the
glass.

6.

Place the glass in the frame without using
sealant, starting at the bottom and ensuring
that it fits exactly in the frame.

7.

Mark the correct position of the glass in the
frame with strips of tape. Cut through the
tape in the frame.

8.

Remove the window from the frame and
place the window on the workbench.

9.

Clean the glass edge where the sealant is to
be applied using the specified activator, see
"Technical data". Apply the activator using a
well moistened ball of crumpled paper towels
or tissue; swipe it off immediately using a ball
of crumpled paper towels of tissues so that
only a thin layer remains. Allow the surface to
dry for at least the specified time, see
"Technical data".

10. Clean the cut-back sealant in the frame

using the specified activator, see "Technical
data". Apply the activator using a well
moistened ball of crumpled paper towels or
tissue; swipe it off immediately using a ball of
crumpled paper towels or tissues so that only
a thin layer remains. Allow the surface to dry
for at least the specified time, see "Technical
data".

Applying sealant
1.

For hot working the sealant must be
preheated in an oven, special tool
(DAF no. 1329416), for 60 minutes at 80

|C.

2.

Give the spraying nozzle the shape shown in
the drawing.

3.

Take note of the processing time when
applying the sealant, see "Technical data".

4.

Fit the spraying nozzle to the cartridge and
apply the sealant to the glass, spraying as
evenly as possible.

5.

Place the sealant gun with the opening 90

|/

up a good layer.

6.

Avoid air bubbles in the layer of sealant.

Note:
If a pneumatic glue gun is used for sealing,
special tool (DAF no. 1240444), then before
beginning adjust the pressure in the gun (by
spraying several test strips).

Fitting the glass
1.

Pick up the glass and place it in the frame in
one go. Use the tape strips (1) for
dimensions.

2.

Use the specified sealant remover to remove
the excess sealant immediately from the
painted parts, see "Technical data".
