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 30 05 600 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 glass with plastic surround) | 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 6-10 must without exception be carried out in the given order to ensure satisfactory results with maximum adhesion.
2. |
Remove loose particles and dirt from the metal flange with a vacuum cleaner.
|
3. |
Repair any paintwork damage:
|
• |
Scrape off any loose flakes of paint with a knife.
|

|
• |
Apply the finish coat.
|
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)
. Make sure the spacers are in position at the bottom edge.
|
5. |
Fit the lifting handles to the outside of the window and place the window inside up on a workstand at a suitable height.
|
6. |
Carefully wash the edges of the window with Betawipe 3300. Carefully wipe the edges using the wet cleaning cloth. Dry with the dry cleaning cloth provided in the adhesive kit. Avoid touching the cleaned surface.
|
7. |
Apply Betaprime 5061
(green)
to the cleaned surface. Allow the primer to dry for 10 minutes. Do not apply glass primer closer than 2 mm to the antenna connection.

If necessary, press on the moulding at the top and sides of the rear window. Avoid touching the primed surface.
