WARNING:Wear gloves and eye protection when working with the glass cutting tool as the cutting operation may produce splinters. When using the cutter wear ear protectors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a personal injury. CAUTION:Make sure the cutting blades are changed where the cutting depth changes to avoid damage to the body and trim panels. NOTE:Some resistance may be encountered when cutting through the glass locating pegs in the bottom corners of the glass. NOTE:Care must be taken when cutting in the area of the locating blocks along the lower edge of the rear window glass. Using a suitable direct glazing cutter, cut the PU adhesive and, with the aid of another technician, use glazing suction cups to remove the rear window glass. - Cut the PU adhesive from inside the vehicle to the given maximum depths.

CAUTION:Do not touch the adhesive surfaces re-bonding will be impared. Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the rear window glass flange to leave approximately 1 mm of trimmed PU adhesive adhered to the flange. | | | -
Check the rear window glass flange for damaged sheet metal, rust or foreign objects which may have caused, or may cause, glass breakage. | | | -
CAUTION:To make sure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that all the bonding surfaces are free of moisture. Using a hot air gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the rear window glass flange and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture. | | | -
Prepare the glass, rear window glass flange and trimmed PU adhesive in accordance with the instructions supplied with the PU adhesive kit. | | | -
NOTE:Discard the first 100 mm 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. Apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead of between 8 and 10 mm in height to the rear window glass flange along the bond line. | | | -
With the aid of another technician, use glazing suction cups to install the rear window glass. - Press firmly and evenly into position.
