2. Use cleaning solvent to clean the glass and
window panel (body).
NOTE:
The use of alcohol or thinner when cleaning may
adversely affect some kinds of adhesives in
terms of bonding strength, resulting in that it is
impossible to obtain adequate strength for glass
installation. So, be careful sufficiently about the
selection of the cleaning solvent
