Rear window 5D

Rear window 5D

To remove


1. Open the door windows so that there is no risk of the window being pressed out by the overpressure that would build in the passenger compartment if one of the doors would be closed.

2. Remove Tailgate trim, 5D

3. Remove Rear window wiper, 5D .

4. Unplug the connector for the electrically heated rear window and bend the flat pin connection against the window.

5. When replacing glued windows, use 82 93 714 Kit, window removal tool . If the window is so damaged that the suction cups do not adhere, use 30 14 099 Handle for cutting wire and saw out the window with the help of a co-worker.

Warning

Use the protective equipment that is supplied with the windscreen removal and adhesive kit, such as the goggles and protective gloves.


6. Measure out 5,0 m cutting wire.

7. Insert the chisel from the inside of the window through the glue joint on the lower corner.


8. Hook the wire ends through the eyes of the chisel and bend the ends so that they do not come out.

9. Pull the chisel back through the glue joint into the passenger compartment. Pull in the wires about 0.7 m.

10. Unhook the cutting wires from the chisel. Straighten the wire ends so that they are at an obtuse angle. Put the chisel aside.

11. Place the wire under the moulding. Use the plastic tool of the kit to poke it in. Ensure that it lies around all corners. Pull in the wires and check their placement.


12. Fit the whimples on the inside of the window.


13. Attach the wire ends in the coils of the whimples. Make sure that the wires do not cross. Use the groove in the whimple's suction cup as a pulley to get a good angle.


14. Crank with a lock handle so that the wire cuts through the glue joint. If necessary, use the protective tool with suction cups between the cutting wires and the metal so that the wire does not cut the metal or the headlining. Move the whimple little by little to obtain a good angle. A transverse angle with the wire cuts best. If necessary, use the second whimple as support. If the wire seems to be coming off, wait 10-15 seconds so that the wire can work itself into the glue joint.

Note

Use the protective tool with suction cups to ensure that the wire lies behind the attaching lug.



15. Lift off the window with the assistance of a co-worker.

16. Remove the cut guide pins and cut away the adhesive that is pressed down into the guide pin flanges.

Important

It is important to remove the adhesive at the guide pin flanges so that the glass will be correctly positioned when fitted in place.



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 confusion between 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 should be standing with all four wheels on a level surface when the window is fitted. For 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. Therefore, once work has started it should be continued without interruption until the window has been fitted and the adhesive has hardened. The adhesive begins to harden as soon as the contents of both tubes are mixed. The window should therefore be fitted into place within 5 minutes of the time that application of the bead of adhesive was first begun. Note that points 8-16 must without exception be carried out in the given order to ensure satisfactory results with maximum adhesion.


1. Cut down the bead of adhesive on the tailgate window to a height of no more than 2 mm. Use the cutting tool from the removal kit. If the old window is to be put back into place, the bead of adhesive on the window should also be cut to max. 2 mm. Old, well-bonded adhesive is a good foundation for the new bead. Remove any loose adhesive from the glass and metal.


2. Remove loose particles, dirt and remnants of the plastic moulding from the metal flange, using a vacuum cleaner.

3. Make good any damage to the paintwork.

• Scrape off any loose flakes of paint with a knife.

• Wash clean with Terosans Rengörare FL (Cleaner).

• Apply primer. Use Standox 1K Füllprimer.

• Apply the finish coat.

Important

The paintwork must be flawless to prevent the onset of corrosion. In addition, an imperfect paintwork repair could result in the layers of paint separating under the bead of adhesive.


4. If there is no old adhesive, or if the adhesive is not intact, primer must be applied to the painted 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.

5. Close the tailgate.

6. Fit the lifting handle on the outside of the rear window and place the window inside up on a stand.

7. Refit the seal on the wiper motor. Check that the arrow on the seal sits against the marking on the window.

Note

Do not remove the pieces of tape from the spacers of the new window. They protect against squeaks.



8. 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.

Important

Do not allow the cleaning agent to dry naturally as it may leave traces of grease on the glass. Always dry with clean, lint-free rags and refold them frequently.


9. Apply Betaprime 5061 (green cap) to the cleaned surface. Allow the primer to dry for 10 minutes.

10. Avoid touching the primed surface.

Note

If the rear window is to be secured with tape after being fitted, make sure the upper part of the tailgate has been cleaned before starting to fit the rear window.


11. Apply the adhesive as follows:

• Clip off the tip of the adhesive cartridge nozzle so as to provide a suitable shape to the bead of adhesive.

• Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface of the glass and apply a bead of adhesive to the primed surface. Start at the bottom edge of the glass. Check that there are no voids in the bead of adhesive.

12. Put the new window in place with the assistance of a co-worker. Begin with the guide pins in the top edge.

Follow points 13 - 15 if the old window, which does not have guide pins, shall be remounted.


13. Adjust the glass so that it fits against the rear side windows.


14. Secure the windscreen with tape or straps so that it is held against the edge of the roof.

15. Place a counterstay (a piece of cardboard about 1 mm thick, for instance) at the bottom to prevent the glass from sliding down against the edge of the sheet metal.

16. Allow the adhesive to cure before continuing. Betaseal X 2500 cures in 1 hour at 23°C and 50% relative humidity.

17. Plug in the connector for the electrically heated rear window. Bend the taps so that they are covered by the side covers.

18. Fit Rear window wiper, 5D

19. Fit the Tailgate trim, 5D

20. Check the function of the washer and wiper. Clean the window both inside and out.
