Short Method Description

The short method can be used where the original urethane adhesive bead left on the window opening pinchweld flange (after window removal) can serve as a base for the new window. This method uses a small bead of urethane adhesive to adhere the window in the opening to the original urethane adhesive bead.

This method is best used when the following apply: When the original bead of urethane adhesive left on the body after window removal is;
^ intact without portions of bead missing,
^ solidly adhered to the pinchweld flange and no corrosion is present on the flange,
^ uniform in shape, smooth, without multiple cuts or loose material present,
^ when repainting of the opening or collision repair/sheet metal replacement is NOT required,
^ or when urethane adhesive deterioration is not evident (no powdery residue).
