chipped edges
as
these
are a
potential
source of cracking of the
glass.
Where ïhe windscreen
glass

to
correct
water leaks or for replacement
due to breakage,
it is important to check the windshield aperture
Íor
dis-
tortion
or damage. For this
purpose,
the

can be
used
as a
template
by mountrng the
glass
in
the aperture
with the
aid
of
short
lengths
of rubber
cut
Írom
a
discarded
.joint.
Check
that the spacing
between
the edges oÍ the
glass
and
the
aperture
Ílange
is
uniform
and
that the contour
of
the flange
compares
favourably
with
that of the

Care
should be taken
to avoid
scratching
the
glass
or
chipping the edges
when using

correction.
Reform the aperture
