When changing a bonded window, use
82 93 714 Kit, window removal tool
. If the window is so damaged that it is not possible to affix the suction cups, use
30 14 099 Cutting wire handles
and with the help of a colleague, saw out the window.
|
6. |
Measure out 2.5 m of cutting wire.
|
7. |
Insert the awl through the adhesive in the bottom corner inside the window.
|

Position the wire under the moulding. Press it in with the help of the plastic tool provided with the kit. Make sure that the wire is lying around all the corners.
|
10. |
Pull the awl back through the adhesive into the cabin. Pull through roughly 0.4 m of wire.
|

To fit |
Important | ||
Betaseal X 2500 cures in 1 hour at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. To avoid the glass from coming loose or its position changing during the curing time, the car must not be subjected to jolts or blows. The doors, tailgate and bonnet must not be shut. The car must not be rocked or rolled. Neither must the glass be pressed in while the adhesive is curing. |
||
Use 32 025 039 Adhesive kit, window glass for bonding windows. To avoid mixing up the cleaner and primer, the tubes are different colours:
Betaclean 3300 (glass cleaner) | One wet and one dry cleaning cloth |
Betawipe 4001 (for plastic glass) | Blue |
Betaprime 5061 (primer, glass and paintwork) | Green |
The car must be standing on all four wheels on a level surface when the window is fitted in place. To ensure the best possible results, it is extremely important for all surfaces that have been cleaned or primed to be kept free from dust and dirt while work is in progress. The same goes for the adhesive when it has been applied. Once work has been started it should therefore be continued without interruption until the window has been fitted and the adhesive hardened. The adhesive begins to harden as soon as the contents of both tubes are mixed. The window must therefore be fitted into place within 5 minutes from the time that application of the bead of adhesive was first begun. Note that points 7-14 must without exception be carried out in the given order to ensure satisfactory results with maximum adhesion.
2. |
Remove loose particles, dirt and residue from plastic strip on the metal flange with a vacuum cleaner.

4. |
If there is no old adhesive, or if the adhesive is not intact, primer must be applied to the surfaces with which the adhesive will be in contact. Use Betaprime 5061
(green)
on any touched-up surfaces. Do not use body primer on old, well-cohered adhesive.
