Description / Abstract:
Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes
applicable laws and regulations.
Note: In the event of conflict between the
English and domestic language, the English language shall take
precedence.
Purpose. This standard describes a procedure to
evaluate the adhesive on stationary, fixed glass and painted body
openings. The evaluation is performed on residual adhesive beads on
the glass or body after the fixed glass has been cut and removed
from a vehicle body opening in a reprocess event.
The procedure gives an assembly operator the ability to define
fixed glass adhesion as it relates to building consistent quality
product for GM customers. It is to be used to evaluate glass
adhesive on painted metal or fixed automotive glass to determine
ongoing bonding capability of the stationary glass bonding assembly
process.
Foreword. In lieu of a full engineering
evaluation, this evaluation can be performed by a plant operator.
It enables an audit of glass build materials and processes in an
efficient and timely manner so as not to impede or distract
assembly operations. This adhesion procedure is a modification of
GMW3368, Quick Knife Adhesion Test for Stationary Glass Bonding
Materials, used to qualify glass bonding adhesive materials.
Applicability. Bonded Stationary Automotive
Glass removed from GM assembly plant vehicles in reprocess
conditions.
