frame is safe for vehicle operation also in case of an accident
after a specified minimum curing time.
The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum cur‐
ing time has elapsed.
Observe the minimum curing time.
The minimum curing time for the Two-Part Window Adhesive is
two hours.
Minimum curing time means the time from when it is bonded to
when the vehicle is put back into use. During this time, the vehicle
must be on a level surface at room temperature (at least 15 °C
(59 °F)).
Body Flange, Preparing for Adhesion
– Cut back the remaining material on the body flange using the
Window Cutter - U Blade (2 pc.) - VAG1561/3- , do not remove
all residue under any circumstance.
Note
The remaining material serves as a base for the new adhesive
sealant being applied. Keep the adhesive surfaces free of dirt and
grease.
WARNING
Activator must not come into contact with the paint or the paint
will be damaged.
Exception: If bonding is not performed immediately after the cut‐
ting back procedure, the remaining material must be activated
using the activator.
♦ If the body flange is being repaired or partially replaced, the
corresponding area must be cleaned and primed again before
painting.
Installation Instructions
– Apply the adhesive all around at a right angle to the frame.
WARNING
The frame must be inserted within 10 minutes or the window
adhesive will not adhere properly.
Do not apply the adhesive bead too thickly and do not press
the frame too firmly onto the body flange.

primer coating.
