1. CAUTION: Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
Trim the remaining urethane on the pinch weld using only the full-cut method. In this method, most of the existing urethane adhesive is removed
leaving a level bead around the entire pinch weld.
2. WARNING: All rust found on the pinch weld must be removed and the pinch weld restored to OEM specifications. If surface rust is
found, remove completely down to clean, bare metal. Prime pinch weld metal with an OEM recommended curing automotive paint
primer and allow to cure correctly. If rust has penetrated through the pinch weld metal, repair the pinch weld sheet metal at a body shop
before proceeding.
Check the pinch weld for damaged sheet metal, raised sheet metal at the spot welds, rust or foreign material that may cause glass breakage. Clean
or repair surface as necessary.
3. Use a wool applicator to apply urethane metal primer to any exposed metal on the pinch weld. Allow 6 to 10 minutes to dry.
4. NOTE: Wipe off the urethane glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries.
Apply deliberate strokes, making sure not to overlap the applied area Apply urethane glass prep twice around the glass surface to be prepped in the
area indicated by the squares marked on the glass.
5. CAUTION: Apply using deliberate strokes, making sure not to overlap the applied area.
Cut the urethane glass primer to the same area that was prepped in the previous step. Allow five minutes to dry.
6. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.
7. CAUTION: If the vehicle is to be driven within 24 hours of urethane adhesive application, urethane adhesive must be used due to its
one-hour cure time.
