The glass components shall comply with AS/NZS 2080, as referenced in the Australian Design Rules (ADR), and the following:
(a) Where opaque glass enamel is applied to a component, the structural integrity shall be at least equivalent to that of the original equipment component.
(b) Windscreen technology components, such as moisture sensing systems, light sensing systems, head-up displays and lane departure warning systems, shall be equivalent to those of the original equipment manufacturer’ s products.
During the removal and replacement of the damaged glass, the following considerations shall be observed:
(a) All personnel shall use personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe working practices.
(b) The requirements set out in the manufacturer’ s safety data sheets for each chemical shall be adhered to.
Where vehicles have an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) or related device that could require recalibration after any direct glazed automotive glass replacement, refer to Clause 6.5.
The aperture shall be prepared for receipt of the glass in the following manner:
NOTE: The method outlined in this Standard applies to all cases where the aperture is undamaged and the previously installed adhesive sealant is fully intact. If during the trimming of the existing adhesive sealant, there are any areas of the aperture where the existing adhesive sealant is not fully intact or where damage to the aperture results in removal of the full depth of the adhesive sealant bead (e.g. in the case of rust removal), the existing adhesive sealant bead should be removed from the entire perimeter of the aperture, and the pinchweld repainted, prior to installation of the glass.
(a) Trim remaining adhesive sealant to a thickness to allow the glass to sit flush with the aperture so that it will fit and bond securely (see Figure 2).
(b) Remove any loose sections of existing adhesive sealant from the aperture. Clean the aperture to remove any dirt and debris, taking care to not damage paint work.AS 473 pdf free download.
