12. Use a cartridge type caulking gun, to apply a smooth continuous bead of urethane adhesive.
13. When using the short installation method, apply the urethane adhesive to the existing bead of urethane adhesive on the body.
14. When using the extended installation method, use the edge of the stationary window or the inside edge of the reveal molding as a guide for the
nozzle in order to apply the (2) urethane adhesive to the inner surface of the (3) stationary window.
15. Use rubber suction cups, and with the aid of a assistant, install the stationary window into the opening.
16. Align the tape on the stationary window and the body.
17. Press the stationary window firmly into place.
18. Tape the stationary window to body in order to minimize movement.
1. Remove any excess urethane adhesive that may have squeezed out from the body.
2. Use a soft spray of water in order to watertest the stationary window immediately.
3. Warm or hot water is preferred in order to accelerate the cure of adhesive.
4. Do not direct a hard stream of high pressure water at fresh urethane adhesive.
Important: Inspect the stationary window for leaks.
19. If any leaks are found, use a plastic paddle in order to apply extra urethane at the leak point.
