16. Install the window on the structure. Ideally, you would use suction cups (Figure 21) to manipulate the
window. Using the aluminum extrusion already fixed to the windowpane, hook the window to the rail
found on the vehicle upper horizontal member (Figure 20). DO NOT PRESS THE WINDOW
AGAINST THE FRAME AT THIS MOMENT.

18. Place the window centered between the two adjacent windows before pressing the fixed window
against structure. The gaps found on the right side and the left side should be equal. The window
edges should be parallel.

CAUTION
Never raise a window once it has been pressed against the structure because the adhesive joint would
break.

19. Press the window against the frame. Check window alignment (flatness) with adjacent windows or
panels. Using a small ruler (to prevent scratching, do not use a metal ruler onto glass), make sure the
windowpane is flush with the windows located on each side of it. Allow enough clamping time for
adhesive curing.

Clamping time: 90 minutes.

On FIGURE 23, a special jig equipped with suction
cups is used to clamp/hold the fixed window on
the structural members from inside.

SEALANT APPLICATION
20. On the inner frame surfaces and the inner side of the window, apply masking tape to protect from glue
smears.
21. Allow 60 minutes before performing this step. While the adhesive is curing, from the interior of the
bus, fill the gap between the thermos window and the surrounding structural members with sealant
Simson ISR 70-03 (fill the whole window perimeter to ensure water tightness). CHECK PRODUCT
EXPIRY DATE FIRST.

NOTE
Refer to PRODUCT DATE VERIFICATION GUIDE in Appendix.

NOTE
For SIMSON ISR 70-03 application technique, refer to GOOD PRACTICES – USE OF
ADHESIVE & SEALANT PRODUCTS in Appendix.
22. Remove sealant in excess using putty knife/scraper. Smooth down (FIGURE 25) the joint with finger
or using clean clothes soaked with water or soapy water. The sealant bead must be fully filled,
uniformly applied, flush with the thermos surface. Clean sealant in excess using silicone remover
(anti-silicone).
