PARTS REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Open the swing gate and raise the rear window lift glass.
2. Close the swing gate.
3. Support the rear window lift glass. Disconnect both lift gate strut rods at the rear window lift glass.
4. Lower the rear window lift glass onto the spare tire. Protect the glass at point of contact. This will allow for a convenient work position.
5. Remove the old seal/carrier from the bottom edge of the rear window lift glass. To assist with removal of the carrier, first peel the weatherstrip from the plastic carrier. Using a die grinder, split the carrier along the bottom length of the carrier so that the carrier channel is in two parts (outer and inner). Use a urethane cutting blade to free the carrier parts from the rear window lift glass urethane.
6. Scrape all existing old urethane from the rear window lift glass.
7. Prime the entire length of the internal groove of the new seal/carrier, p/n 05140675AA, with clear primer, 3M p/n 08691 or equivalent (Fig. 1).
8. Pre-prime the bottom 12.7 mm (.5 in.) of the glass on both sides with clear primer, 3M p/n 08691 or equivalent.
9. Prime the bottom 12.7 mm (.5 in.) of the glass on both sides with black primer, 3M p/n 08692 or equivalent.
10. Place a 6.35 mm (0.25 in) bead of urethane adhesive, 3M p/n 08690 or equivalent, in the entire length of the groove in the seal/carrier.
11. Push the seal/carrier onto the edge of the rear window rear window lift glass. Apply temporary holding tape and let set for one hour (until the adhesive reaches green strength).
