In accordance with international instructions, the manufacturer installs safety glass on Skoda Octavia cars.
Front (windshield) puff glass (glued) thickness 4.8±0.3 mm. In the lower left corner of the glass, there is the manufacturer's mark, the homologation mark and the numbers of the authorized testing laboratories.
A black ceramic mass with a transitional raster is sprayed along the entire contour of the glass. Black coating protects the adhesive mastic from exposure to ultraviolet radiation (mastic can not be exposed to ultraviolet light) and at the same time carries an aesthetic load - it covers the internal structure of the body along the window contour. In the black strip at the bottom of the glass are two round white spots indicating the correct position of the brushes when they are installed.
The glass is already delivered from the manufacturer with a U-shaped rubber profile on the upper edge and with a polyurethane profile around the entire contour of the rear side of the glass.
The polyurethane profile simultaneously holds the rubber profile on the top edge. On the sides there is an extended profile of the roof lining with sealing tongues - a lining for holding water. It is inserted into the clips on the body frame. When installing glass (pasted) wedges are placed in its lower part, which remain in the car and are hidden by a plastic coating of the space between the windshield and the rear edge of the hood. The wedges prevent the glass from sliding down while the adhesive mastic is curing.
Before applying the glass to the window frame, an adhesive mastic is applied to the contour polyurethane profile and only then the glass is pressed. On the glass of the windshield, the bracket of the internal rear-view mirror is glued with polyurethane mastic by the manufacturer.
