2. Never touch the primed surfaces with your hand.
if you do, the adhesive may not bond to the glass properly, causing a leak after the rear window glass is installed.
3. Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.
3. Apply a light coat of body primer to the original sealant remaining around the window opening flange. The glass should be installed 10 minutes after you apply the primer.
4. Pack adhesive into the cartridge (avoid air pockets), to ensure continuous application. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun or Sealant Gun, and run a bead of adhesive around the edge of the glass as shown.
NOTE: Apply the adhesive within 5 minutes after applying the glass primer.
5. Using the special tool, install the rear window glass.
Let adhesive dry for at least one hour, then spray water over the rear window glass and check for leaks. If there are leaks, dry the affected area, then apply sealant.
