Installation

1. NOTE: For additional material guidelines, refer to the manufacturer's installation information.
Dry fit the rear window glass to the existing urethane adhesive bead on the body pinch weld. Align the rear quarter glass in the opening for a uniform fit.

4. WARNING: Repair any corrosion found on the pinch weld. The pinch weld is a structural component of the vehicle. Corrosion left unrepaired may reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).

NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. Repair all minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld following manufacturer's instructions. Use the same brand pinch weld primer, glass primer and urethane adhesive.

NOTE: Minimum 1 mm (0.04 in) bead thickness.

NOTE: Touching the adhesive surface will impair rebonding.

NOTE: Make sure that the mating faces are clean and free of foreign material.
Using an utility knife, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) base of original equipment urethane adhesive on the pinchweld.





5. Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any dirt or foreign material from the pinch weld.

If installing a new rear quarter glass, apply glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.





8. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.





9. NOTE: Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane adhesive with less effort and continuous bead.
Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld, starting and ending at the bottom of the windshield near the center, making sure there are no gaps in the bead.





10. Install the rear quarter glass.

Inadequate or incorrect curing of the urethane adhesive seal will adversely affect glass retention. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
