Cut away the old sealant by using a razor knife so
that
1— 2 mm {0.04— 0.07 in} thickness of sealant
remains around the circumference of the frame. If
alt the sealant has come off in any one place,
apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it
30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to
create a 2 mm {0.08 in} layer.
