- 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 has 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 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 has completely cured may affect the performance of the back door window glass 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 has completely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time will increase under lower temperature and lower humidity.
