Installation
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 glass.
NOTE: For additional material guidelines, refer to the manufacturer's installation information.
1. Dry fit the rear window glass to the existing urethane adhesive bead on the body pinch weld. Align the rear window glass in the opening for a
uniform fit.
2. Use a non-permanent pencil to make alignment marks on the rear window glass at the setting blocks and the body to aid in the installation
alignment of the rear window glass.
3. Remove the rear window glass.
4. NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld, see manufacturer's recommendations.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) base of original equipment urethane on the pinch weld.
5. If installing the original rear window glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive.
6. Clean the inside of the rear window glass surface with glass cleaner.
