Liftgate Window Glass Weatherstrip: Service and Repair
Window Reveal Molding Replacement - Liftgate
Removal Procedure
Important: The window reveal molding is an applied molding design that is separate from the window. The reveal molding may be replaced
with the window as an assembly, or the reveal molding may be available as a separate part. The window molding can only be replaced by
removing the window. The old molding can not be reused.
1. Remove the liftgate window.
2. Place the window (1) on a clean prepared surface.
Installation Procedure
Important: Apply the window reveal moldings in an environment that is free from dust or other dirt that could come into contact with
the sticky backing. Foreign material may cause improper adhesion.
1. 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.
2. Using a heat gun, ensure that the temperature of the window and the reveal molding is approximately 29-32°C (85-90°F).
3. Apply masking tape around the window, 8 mm (0.31 in) from the window edge (A), as a guide for locating the window reveal molding.
4. Remove the protective liner from the back of the window reveal moldings.
