Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Minimum curing periods for bonded windows
WARNING
| There are special requirements for renewing bonded
windows. One of these standards is, for example, that a
freshly bonded windscreen must comply with the safety
requirements, even in an accident, following the minimum
prescribed curing period. |
|
| The minimum curing period for 2-component adhesive is 2
hours for all windows. |
| Minimum curing period is the time from bonding the window
until vehicle may be used. During this time, the vehicle must
stand on a level surface at room temperature (at least 15 °C). |
WARNING
| It is safe to use vehicle only after the curing
period is completed. |
