    CAUTION:Avoid touching the trimmed surface as this will inhibit the new adhesive from bonding.
    Remove the excess PU adhesive from the opening.
    • Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the liftgate opening to leave approximately 1mm of trimmed PU adhered to the bodywork.
  1. CAUTION:
    CAUTION:To make sure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that the bonding surfaces are free of moisture.
    Using a heat gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the window opening and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture.
  1. Prepare the rear window and window opening in accordance with the instructions supplied with the adhesive kit.

    Apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead between 8 and 10 mm in height to the rear screen along the bond line.

  1. Install the rear window with the aid of another technician, using suction pads to carefully lift the glass and align it in position over the window opening.
