CAUTION:

Avoid touching the trimmed surface as this will inhibit the new adhesive from bonding.
8. Remove the excess PU adhesive from the aperture using the Fein cutter fitted with blade number 6 39 03 113 02 2.
   Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the window aperture to leave approximately 1 mm of trimmed PU adhered to the bodywork.
9. If the original glass is refitted, remove the excess PU adhesive from the glass as described in the previous step.

10. Fit the tailgate outer rubber weatherstrip.

11. Push on the interior tailgate moulding.

WARNING:

To ensure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that all bonding surfaces are free of all moisture.
12. Using a heat gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the window aperture and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture.
13. Prepare the glass, window aperture and trimmed PU adhesive in accordance with the instructions supplied with the adhesive kit.

NOTE:

Discard the first 10 cm (4 in) of PU adhesive as this may have a reduced working time.

NOTE:

To avoid water leaks, any breakage in the continuous bead should be overlapped by 20 mm (0,75 in).
14. Apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead of between 8 and 10 mm height to the tailgate flange along the bond line.

15. Fit the tailgate glass.
• With the aid of another technician, use suction pads to carefully lift the glass and align it in position over the window flange.
• Firmly and evenly press into position.
16. Refit the remaining components in reverse order.
17. Check for leaks and correct as necessary.
