INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Open a window before installing glass. This will avoid pressurizing the passenger compartment. If a door or liftgate is slammed before urethane is cured, water leaks can result.


NOTE: The quarter window fence should be cleaned of old urethane bonding material. Support spacers should be cleaned and properly installed on weld studs or repair screws at bottom of quarter window opening.






The window opening fence should be cleaned of old urethane bonding material (1).

Refer to the Windshield Removal procedure for a description of tools, cleaning procedures, and adhesive systems that are recommended for use in this procedure.

2. Apply clear glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around edge of glass (2). Wipe with clean/dry lint-free cloth.

NOTE: Insure primer does not flow passed the black frit.

3. Apply black primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around edge of glass (2). Allow at least eighteen minutes drying time.
