Remove old, loose urethane from the area under the keeper foot print. Make sure the remaining urethane has been trimmed to a level, smooth
surface.

With sand paper or emery cloth, scuff the remaining urethane surface where the keeper is located.
4.
Clean area of keeper with water and dry surface.

Make sure that there is a 1 mm gap (0.040 inch) between the edge of the sliding glass and the edge of the keeper base. Make sure the sliding glass
has been fully closed prior to measuring the 1 mm gap.
8.
With the keeper properly positioned on the stationary glass, draw an outline of the keeper base on the glass blackout area with a pencil.
NOTE:
The technician may want to mask off the immediate area around the keeper outline to aid in possible removal of excess urethane (squeeze-out) after
the new keeper is installed.
9.
Fully open the power sliding window.
10.
Apply approximately 2.5 grams of urethane to the keeper. Make sure the amount of urethane that is applied to the keeper fills the keeper cavity.
There should be sufficient urethane applied to cover at least 80% of the keeper foot print area.
11.
Using the outline made earlier as a guide, apply the keeper to the stationary glass.
12.
Fully seat the keeper to the stationary glass to ensure that the urethane covers at least 80% of the keeper foot print area.

Use a piece of tape to hold the keeper in place. Allow the urethane to harden.
14.
Carefully remove the tape and clean any excess urethane from the stationary glass.
