9. Use tape strips to protect the glass from
falling out accidentally (after the sealant has
been cut through).
10. Start the 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.
11. Keep the cutting wire as close as possible
to the edge of the glass.
12. Make sure the wire ends are crossed before
the bottom corners are reached.
13. Take the windscreen out of the frame using
the two suction pads, special tool
(DAF no. 0484800).
14. 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 to 1.5 mm and that it is flat and
smooth.
15. Remove frayed pieces and granules of old
sealant and clean the frame thoroughly with
a cleaner.
Important tips
- If the new windscreen is fitted at a later
time, the old, fully cured sealant should be
cleaned 15 minutes before the glass is
fitted, to ensure proper adhesion.
- Repair any damage to the paint on the
window frame immediately with the right
type of paint.
- Always work in a clean area.
- Wear industrial gloves or use a special
hand cream.
- Use paper towels or tissues instead of
cleaning rags.
