Glass inductor
ref. 053373
Description
This inductor is specifically designed to strip off the anti-gravel protection from the lower part of the car body. It can
also be used to remove bonded glass (rear glass, rear quarter, panoramic roof, etc.).
Automatic mode is particularly recommended for removing glass.
Removing glass
◊ Preparation
1. Remove any exterior trim beforehand: For mouldings that cannot be removed, heat the bond from the inside.
2. It is recommended that you also remove any interior trim and components such as clips and studs that may be used
to hold the glass in place.
3. Disconnect aerials and glass defrost circuits.
4. Apply protective tape around the glass to prevent damage to the painted surfaces during handling.
5. Apply protective tape on the glass inductor to avoid scratching the glass. Replace the adhesive tape after each glass
removal.
6. Thoroughly clean the glass before starting the removal process.
◊ Heating step & glass removal
The greatest risk of painting damage is at the beginning of the heat-up because of the extra difficulty of introdu-
cing shims between the glass and the body.
Start in a corner and heat up on each side of that corner as you progress to the opposite corners.
If the glass is damaged, start at the corner to be repaired and work your way to the undamaged part of the glass.
7. Place the inductor opposite the urethane glue joint for easy removal from the glass.
Some vehicles have narrow welded edges, heating of the inductor can damage the visible painted surface In that case it is advisable
to cool the outer surface with a damp cloth or cooling spray. Move the inductor towards the middle of the glass so that it is at least
2 cm away from the visible painted part.
8. Move the inductor back and forth about 30 cm on both adjacent sides of the corner. Finding the right heating speed:
A pace that is too slow results in excessive localized heating that is inefficient because it reduces the heat produced at
the welded edge. A high pace does not allow sufficient heating of the welded edge and the glue joint. A slight smoke is
emitted to indicate that the optimal temperature of the urethane glue bead has been reached.
If thick smoke appears, stop heating immediately. Move away from the area to avoid breathing fumes and try to deter-
mine the cause. Heating the urethane glue causes the emission of hydrogen cyanide, which is very dangerous to ingest.
