- The rubber seal must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no gap.
- Inform customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
- Install parts removed.

WARNING:
- Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesives are flammable.
- The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
- Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. if affected by vapor inhalation, immediately move to area with fresh air.
- Driving the vehicle before urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance of the skyview roof in case of an accident.

- Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after the date of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.
- Keep primers and adhesives in a cool dry place. ideally they should be stored in a refrigerator.
- Do not leave primers and adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps off.
- The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing time depends on temperature and humidity. The curing time will increase under lower temperature and lower humidities.

Repairing Water Leaks for Skyview Roof Glass
Leaks can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.

If water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage.

This can be done by applying water to the glass area while pushing glass outward.

To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
