If the PAAS system is damaged, what can be done?

Trimming away the PAAS bead is an appropriate action if the PAAS system is damaged because it allows for the potential repair of the area while ensuring that the integrity of the overall installation is maintained. The PAAS (Polyurethane Adhesive and Attachment System) is crucial for the proper adhesion and support of automotive glass. If the bead is damaged, rather than ignoring the issue, which would compromise safety, or replacing the entire system, which could be unnecessarily costly and time-consuming, trimming allows for a direct intervention on the problem area without the need for complete replacement.

This method helps to clean up the damaged section, ensuring that any remaining adhesive is still functional, and preparing it for a new application if needed. Proper handling of such damage is essential in maintaining the safety and structural integrity of the vehicle's glass components.
