RESEAL PROCEDURES

C1 - Quarter Window Resealing

Quarter Window to Frame

If the quarter window (glass and attached molding) is loose in its frame, shim it with EPT Sealer:

1. With the door window all the way down, remove the screw from the top of the quarter glass frame. Then pull the rear half of the quarter window seal (the glass run) up and out of the run channel, and peel the front half out of the front of the quarter window frame.

2. Remove the door panel, pull back the protective plastic (use a utility knife to slice through the adhesive), and remove the three bolts from the front run channel.

3. Remove the remaining screw from the top of the quarter window frame, then carefully twist the run channel to one side as necessary to remove the quarter glass.

4. Stick pieces of 10 mm-thick EPT Sealer (foam tape. P/N 06992-SA5-000) to the bottom of the three tabs on the window molding to raise the glass in its frame.

QUARTER WINDOW GLASS TO MOLDING




5. With your thumbs, pull up on the inside and outside edges of the quarter window molding all the way around the glass. If you find any areas where the molding has been cut or split, glue them back together with cyanoacrylate adhesive ("crazy glue"). (Window tint installers sometimes cut the molding when trimming the tint film.)

6. Reinstall the quarter glass, the run channel, the protective plastic, and the door panel.

7. Reinstall the quarter window seal by following B2 on the previous page (begin with step 2).
