Because of the crack, I decided to re-glue the glass #headlights on #Audi #A6C7
To remove the front headlights, you will need to remove the bumper, for this you need a Torx T25 to unscrew 4 screws in the wheel arches, 5 screws from the bottom and 2 more screws under the cover plate under the hood, the most difficult thing is to unscrew 2 bolts for 10 fixing the bumper to the wing.
The headlights themselves are attached with 4 bolts to the Torx T30
The old glass is glued to a very strong sealant, something like silicone, but much tougher. I think it will be impossible to save the old glass at home, or it will be very difficult.
I first tried to peel off the old glass by heating it with a construction hair dryer and poured solvent 646, the sealant then became less durable, I also tried white spirit - it generally gave zero result. They recommend a special solvent for these purposes, but I did not have such a thing.
After several hours of torment, I decided to cut off the old glass with an engraver and a cutting disc for ceramics Stayer 29913-H3
The new glass was bought on Aliexpress for 3000 rubles, the delivery took about a month
The article of the tape-sealant for pasting headlight glasses ABRO WS-904R
To remove the inner frame of the headlight and open the rear cover, you will need a Torx T20
I also recommend cleaning the filters in the headlight, so that they do not fog up in the future.
It took me about 6 hours for the whole process of gluing the headlight glass
After removing the headlights, no errors appeared, the adaptation of the body position for xenon was not reset (as it was on the a6c6)
