Note

♦ When the seal is removed the sealant spreads on the inner


side of the seal and the sides bend up slightly. If the seal is
being installed again, the sealing performance and proper
seating are no longer guaranteed.
♦ For this reason, every seal, that has been removed complete‐
ly, must be replaced with a “hammer-stroke seal”.
♦ For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed to‐
gether before installation.

1.2 Inner Door Seal, Removing and Instal‐


ling
The inner door seals are equipped at the factory with sealant,
applied to the door flange and then rolled on.

Note

♦ The sealant on the inside will spread when the seal is re‐
moved. The sides will bend up slightly. If the seal is being
installed again, the sealing performance and proper seating
are no longer guaranteed.
♦ For this reason, every seal that has been removed completely
must be replaced with a “hammer-stroke seal”.
♦ For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed to‐
gether before installation.
♦ Removing and installing is described only for the left inner door
seal. The right side is identical.
♦ The front door is not shown.

Note

♦ The sealant on the inside will spread when the seal is re‐
moved. The sides will bend up slightly. If the seal is being
installed again, the sealing performance and proper seating
are no longer guaranteed.
♦ For this reason, every seal that has been removed completely
must be replaced with a “hammer-stroke seal”.
♦ For partially removed seals, seal flanks must be pressed to‐
gether before installation.
♦ Removing and installing is described only for the left inner door
seal. The right side is identical.
♦ For better illustration the rear door is not shown.

2.14 Outer Window Shaft Strip, Removing


and Installing

Note

♦ The outer window shaft strip has a metal insert in the center.
♦ If it gets bent, it will not be possible to straighten it out again.
It will remain “wavy”.
♦ This is why the outer window shaft strip must be removed
evenly without bending it.
♦ The following describes removing and installing the left outer
window shaft strip. Removing and installing right window shaft
strip is identical.

Minimum Curing Time

WARNING

There are special requirements for replacing bonded frame.


This includes, for example, a newly bonded frame is safe for
vehicle operation also in case of an accident after a specified
minimum curing time.
The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum cur‐
ing time has elapsed.
Observe minimum curing time.

The minimum curing time for the 2K Window Adhesive is two


hours.
Curing time means the time from when it is bonded to when the
vehicle is put back into use. During this time, the vehicle must be
on a level surface at room temperature (at least 15 °C).
Preparing the body flange for adhesion
– Cut back remaining material on the body flange using U-
Shape Scraper - VAG1561/3- , do not remove all residue
under any circumstance.

WARNING

There are special requirements for replacing bonded front trim.


This includes, for example, that a newly bonded trim piece is
safe for vehicle operation and also in case of an accident after
a specified minimum curing time.
The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum cur‐
ing time has elapsed.
Observe the minimum curing time.

The minimum curing time for the One-Part Adhesive is three


hours.

machine tools or running engines. If your hair, clothing, or jewelry were to get caught in the machinery, severe
injury could result.

•= Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use. Some fasteners are designed to be used
only once and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts,
washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations in this manual - replace these fasteners with
new parts where indicated, and any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.

Cautions & Warnings
•= Illuminate the work area adequately but safely. Use a portable safety light for working inside or under the vehicle.
Make sure the bulb is enclosed by a wire cage. The hot filament of an accidentally broken bulb can ignite spilled
fuel or oil.

•= Friction materials such as brake pads and clutch discs may contain asbestos fibers. Do not create dust by
grinding, sanding, or by cleaning with compressed air. Avoid breathing asbestos fibers and asbestos dust.
Breathing asbestos can cause serious diseases such as asbestosis or cancer, and may result in death.

•= Finger rings should be removed so that they cannot cause electrical shorts, get caught in running machinery, or be
crushed by heavy parts.

•= Before starting a job, make certain that you have all the necessary tools and parts on hand. Read all the
instructions thoroughly; do not attempt shortcuts. Use tools that are appropriate to the work and use only
replacement parts meeting Volkswagen specifications. Makeshift tools, parts and procedures will not make good
repairs.

•= Catch draining fuel, oil or brake fluid in suitable containers. Do not use empty food or beverage containers that
might mislead someone into drinking from them. Store flammable fluids away from fire hazards. Wipe up spills at
once, but do not store the oily rags, which can ignite and burn spontaneously.

•= Use pneumatic and electric tools only to loosen threaded parts and fasteners. Never use these tools to tighten
fasteners, especially on light alloy parts. Always use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the tightening torque
