Removal

WARNING:
WARNING:To prevent glass splinters from entering the eyes or cutting hands, wear safety glasses and heavy gloves when cutting the glass from the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
  1. Remove the headliner. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05 Interior Trim and Ornamentation.

  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the special tool when cutting.
    NOTE:
    NOTE:Locating pins need to be cut through in order to remove the rear quarter window glass. The new quarter window glass will be equipped with new locating pins.
    Using the special tool, cut the urethane adhesive from the quarter window glass starting at the top center and working toward the bottom corners and remove the rear quarter window glass.
  1. Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any foreign material or dirt from the pinch weld.

Installation

CAUTION:
CAUTION:After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. Refer to the drive away chart for the cure times as temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect the strength of the urethane bond.
  1. Dry fit the rear quarter window glass, making alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil.

  1. CAUTION:
    CAUTION:Do not scratch the pinch weld area.
    Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld to the specification.
    • The existing urethane adhesive surface should be smooth and free of cuts and contamination.
  1. Clean the inside of the rear quarter window glass surface with glass cleaner, making sure the ceramic coated area is clean.
  1. CAUTION:
    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:
    NOTE:Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.
    If installing a new rear window glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.

  1. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.

  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:Use caution when applying urethane adhesive. Apply to the outside edges of locating pins on the glass surface.
    NOTE:
    NOTE:Use either a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane with less effort and a continuous bead.
    Apply a bead of urethane adhesive starting at the bottom and work around to the sides of the rear quarter window glass.
  1. Install the rear quarter window glass, aligning it to the marks previously made.
  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:The urethane adhesive must cure for a minimum of one hour before testing for air or water leaks.
    After the urethane has cured, check for water leaks and add urethane adhesive where needed.
  1. If necessary, remove excess urethane adhesive from the exterior surface of the quarter window glass.
  1. Install the headliner. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05 Interior Trim and Ornamentation.
