a) Glass preparation:
Always ensure that surfaces are clean and free from contamination. Use 08631 Glass
cleaner or 08984 Adhesive cleaner on red Scotch-Brite™. Clean with a light action. Wipe
over surface with 08631 Glass cleaner or 08984 Adhesive cleaner on a clean wipe.
Shake 58012 single step Low VOC primer for 30 seconds before use, ensuring the metal
ball contained within is moving freely. Apply a thin layer of 58012 singles step Low VOC
primer to the glass ceramic and leave for a minimum of 10 minutes (see Fig. 6A). For pre-

primed edges, ceramic edges with pre-applied PU and encapsulated edges use the
50661 Activator and clean without using red Scotch-Brite™. Special instruction: For pre-
primed glass, check adhesion of the pre-applied primer before applying 3M™ 50661
Activator. If adhesion is poor remove the pre-applied primer. For glass or tinted glass, the
3M™ 8617 first step primer must be applied before the 58012 Low VOC primer. A frame
must be applied on the other side in order to avoid UV exposure.
b) Pinch weld preparation:
1) Where original polyurethane adhesive remains on the body frame, clean with 3M™
08984 Adhesive Cleaner. Allow to dry before using a knife to reduce the thickness of the
polyurethane to 1 mm. Apply 3M™ 58015 / 50681 glass adhesive. Use 3M™ 58012 single
step Low VOC primer to protect any exposed bare metal from corrosion. Do not apply
any primer on the old polyurethane adhesive.
2) On a newly painted body frame (paint fully cured), apply 3M™ 50661 Activator. Allow
to dry for a minimum of 10 minutes. Extrude a bead of 3M™ 58015 / 50681 Glass
Adhesive onto the glass or the body frame (depending on car manufacturers’
instructions). Install the glass within 10 minutes. Clean any excess adhesive using 3M™
08984 Adhesive Cleaner. Application temperature is +10°C to +35°C.
