INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
-
To help prevent water leaks, partially roll down the left and right door glass before installing the liftgate glass. This avoids pressurizing
the passenger compartment if a door is slammed before the urethane is cured.
-
Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
1. If the liftgate glass (1) is being reused, remove the as much original urethane (3) as possible from the glass surface using a razor knife (2).
