8. NOTE: Be sure to use the same brand and cure-rate products for the urethane adhesive and glass primer. Do not mix different brands of urethane
adhesive and glass primer. Refer to the Material chart in this procedure.
If installing a new liftgate window glass, apply glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
9. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.
10. NOTE: Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane adhesive with less effort and continuous bead.
NOTE: The liftgate glass must be positioned within 10 minutes of applying the urethane adhesive.
Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld, starting and ending at the bottom of the liftgate
window glass opening near the center, making sure there are no gaps in the bead.
11. WARNING: Do not drive vehicle until the urethane adhesive seal has cured. Follow urethane adhesive manufacturer's curing directions.
Inadequate or incorrect curing of the urethane adhesive seal will adversely affect glass retention. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Before positioning the liftgate glass, open vehicle windows to prevent the air pressure of closing doors from affecting the
urethane adhesive bond.
Install the liftgate window glass on the vehicle aligning it with the markings made previously.
12. NOTE: The urethane adhesive must cure for a minimum of one hour before testing for air or water leaks.
After the urethane adhesive has cured, check the liftgate window glass seal for air or water leaks through the urethane adhesive bead and add
urethane adhesive as necessary.
13. Install the liftgate trim panel.
