Note The distance between glass/paint primer as well as adhesive bead and the outer edge of the windscreen differs in the lower area of the windscreen. - Up to -dimension a- = 150 mm measured from lower edge of windscreen the distance between the adhesive bead and the outer edge is -dimension b- = 6 mm.
- From this point down to the bend the distance amounts to -dimension d- = 20 mm.
- At half distance between dimension a and the bend -dimension c- must be 10 mm.
