Removal and Installation


REMOVAL
1. Remove the rear pillar finisher. Refer to Body Side Trim.
2. Remove the headlining. Refer to the following.
- For normal roof. Refer to Removal And Installation.
- For sunroof. Refer to Removal And Installation.
3. Apply protective tape around the side window to protect the painted surface from damage.
4. Remove the side window glass using piano wire or power cutting tool and an inflatable pump bag.

WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands when cutting the glass from the vehicle.

CAUTION:
- Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
- Never set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may develop into cracks.

INSTALLATION
- Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or equivalent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
- Open a door window while the urethane adhesive is curing. This prevents the glass from being forced out by passenger room air pressure when all door windows are closed.
- The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no clearance.
- Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive is completely cured (approximately 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.

WARNING:
- Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
- The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Never let them come in contact with the skin and eyes.
- Use in an open, well ventilated location. Never breathe the vapors. They may be harmful if inhaled.
Move immediately to an area with fresh air if affected by vapor inhalation.
- Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive is completely cured may affect the performance of the side window in case of an accident.

CAUTION:
- Never use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after the date of manufacture. Adhere carefully to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.
- Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
- Never leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.
- The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive is completely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time will increase under lower temperature and lower humidity.
