round the edge of the windscreen in order to ensure perfect
adhesion of the sealant to the body.

Support the glass-at the top using tank tape and the lower edge with blocks
made
from wood, rubber or similar. This svpport is necessary to stop any;
slippage of the screen while the sealant is curing.
If
any surplus sealant
is squeezed
outboard of joint, 'paddle' the sealant back into the seal area
with
a
wooden spatular or similar.

Before replacing any bri
g
ht trim carry out a water test on the glass. If
a
leak is detected, mark the position and dry thoroughly using a blow dryer
or similar. Extrude
a
sniall amount of sealant on the suspect area, paying
special attention to any trim fixing clips.
NOTE:
Rubber spacing blocks can be left between the glass and body if
the blocks do not interfere with the fixing of the bright trim.
If blocks are removed fill the gaps with sealant.

Allow
6
hours for sealant to cure before fitting bri
g
ht trim. Any attempt
to fit bri
g
ht trim before sealant is thorou
g
hly cured could distrub the water
seal around the trim fixing clips.
