Five Hundred 2WD V6-3.0L VIN 1 (2006)
5. If installing the original liftgate window glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive.
6. Clean the inside of the liftgate window glass surface with an alcohol-free glass cleaner.
7. CAUTION: Be sure to use the same brand and cure-rate products for the adhesive and primer. Do not mix different brands of urethane
and primer. Refer to the Material Chart in this procedure.
NOTE: Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.
If installing a new liftgate window glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
8. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.
9. NOTE: Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane with less effort and continuous bead.
Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld. Make sure that all gaps in the urethane
adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead starting and ending at the bottom of the liftgate window glass opening near the center.
10. NOTE: Before the urethane has set, partially lower the windows to prevent the glass from being pushed out of position when a door is closed.
Install the liftgate window glass on the vehicle aligning it with the markings made previously.
11. CAUTION: When installing urethane-installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Adequate cure
time is specified on the drive away chart for each urethane product as the temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate or incorrect
curing can adversely affect the retention of the windshield.
After the urethane has cured, check the liftgate window glass seal for air or water leaks through the urethane adhesive bead and add urethane
adhesive as necessary.
12. Install the liftgate trim panel.
