    NOTE:
    • Only if the windscreen is re-installed!

    Equip cutting device -C-  with the flashing knife -D-  and remove the remaining adhesive from the windscreen, ensuring that a surface coating of adhesive remains. See Fig 1 .

    NOTE:
    • The remaining adhesive helps new adhesive to stick. Keep cut surfaces clean and free of grease and do not clean with cleaning solution.
  2. Fitting surrounding section and cover section

    Place surrounding section -9-  on the windscreen and press cover section -1-  into the groove of the surrounding section. See Fig 2 .

    NOTE:
    • If the surrounding section and cover section were removed from the rear window undamaged, they can be re-used.
