Any other obstruction or irregularity in the pinch-weld flange
Note: If corrosion of the pinch-weld flange is present or if sheet metal repairs or replacements are required, the pinch-weld flange must be
refinished in order to restore the bonding area strength. If paint repairs are required, mask the flange bonding area prior to applying the color coat
in order to provide a clean primer only surface. Materials such as BASF DE15(R), DuPont 2610(R), Sherwin-Williams PSE 4600 and NP70(R)
and Martin-Semour 5120 and 5130(R) PPG DP90LF SPIES/HECKER 3688/8590 - 3688/5150 - 4070/5090 STANDOX 11158/13320 -
14653/14980 products are approved for this application.
5. After repairing the opening as indicated, perform the following steps:
1. Remove all traces of broken glass from the outer cowl panel, seats, floor, and defroster ducts.
2. Clean around the edge of the inside surface of the window with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water by volume on a dampened lint
free cloth.
Warning: Refer to Window Retention Warning (See: Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Window Retention Warning).
6. Verify all primers and urethane adhesive are within expiration dates.
Warning
Failure to prep the area prior to the application of primer may cause insufficient bonding of urethane adhesive. Insufficient bonding of urethane adhesive
may allow unrestrained occupants to be ejected from the vehicle resulting in personal injury.
Note: Do not apply the black #3 primer to the existing bead (1) of the urethane adhesive on the pinch-weld flange. Apply the primer only to nicks,
scratches, or the primed surfaces.
7. Shake the pinch-weld primer black #3 for at least 1 minute.
8. Use a new dauber in order to apply the primer to the surface of the pinch-weld flange (1).
9. Allow the pinch-weld primer to dry for approximately 10 minutes.
