A4.5 GLAZING
A4.5.1 Special notes
In order that the design condition of the vehicle is preserved when direct glazing repairs are carried out, it is essential
that both the applied materials and processes are as stipulated.
Application time - including
positioning
4 minutes
Will not bond
A4.5.1.1 Glass and Body Preparation
The preparation methods and materials, as used with the Betaseal HV3 system on previous Jaguar vehicles, are fully
compatible with the current sedan range.
Ease of working and extended process time may be gained by ensuring that the vehicle body and replacement glass
are 'soaked
at room temperature, a minimum of 2OoC, prior to adhesive application and fitting.
Should damage occur to the body flange finish, rectify as appropriate with the full paint refinishing process as de
- scribed in the 'Paint Refinishing Manual' see section 4.4.1.1.
A4.5.1.2 Adhesive Application Temperature
The specified adhesive has a high viscosity and is not easily applied at 'room temperature' using conventional
methods. When the adhesive is applied it chills rapidly on contact with the body and reverts to the hard condition, thus
providing full retention (not full strength) within minutes.
Raising the temperature of the adhesive lowers the viscosity and speeds up the flow.
It is recommended therefore that
the adhesive is pre-warmed in a heated cabinet for a minimum of 20 (twenty) minutes and the extrusion gun has inte- gral heating elements, see Preliminary pages for details.
A4.5.1.3 Adhesive Application
CAUTION: The glass will not bond to the body if the time
taken to apply the adhesive AND position the glass. exceeds the stated limit.
It is recommended that the bead of adhesive conforms tothe shape and dimensions as shown in Fig. 1 and is positioned
along the edge of the rubber.
m: The depth of the glass and thus the thickness of the
adhesive, is controlled by the screen rubber 'bot- toming' on the body flange.
A4.5.1.4 Adhesive Curing
The specified polyurethane adhesive cures by exposure to
moisture and NOT by heat. Cure times may vary consider- ablyand are dependant upon ambient humidity levels, how- everthe initial 'chill off will occur within l to4 minutes, after
which the screen may not be moved (this is entirely depend- ant upon the application temperature and rate of cooling). 1

A4.6.1.4
Fitted Condition (Front)
The following procedures may apply should any part of the bumper mounting system, or cover, be renewed but should
not be necessary if the cover is removed for service reasons.
The front mountings must initially be set for 'cross car' pitch and center within the clearances around thestrut to body
. In orderthat the bumpertop face, headlamp surrounds and grille lower have the correct relationship the strut height

fixings.
adjusters must be finally
set AFTER the cover is fitted.
because adjustments can only be made with the cover
off.
