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.
