The glass primer (black #2) is good up to 8 hours after applying it to the glass. The primed surface of the glass must be kept clean.
24. Allow the glass primer to dry for approximately 10 minutes.
25. If using the short method, of cut the tip of the nozzle to provide an adhesive bead of 6.0 mm (1/4 in ).
26. If using the extended method, cut the tip to provide an adhesive bead of approximately 10.5 mm (0.14 in ) wide and 10.5 mm (0.14 in ) high.
27. Use a cartridge type caulking gun, to apply a smooth continuous bead of urethane adhesive.
28. If reusing the original glass apply the new urethane adhesive on the top of the fresh trimmed urethane adhesive.
29. When using the extended method, use the edge of them lift gate window or the inside edge of the reveal molding as a guide for the nozzle in order
to apply the urethane adhesive (1) to the inner surface of the lift gate window (3).
30. With the aid of an assistant, use the suction cups in order to install the lift gate window into the opening.
31. Align the tape on the rear window and the body.
32. Press the rear window firmly into place.
33. Tape the rear window to the body in order to minimize movement until the urethane adhesive cures.
34. Clean any excess urethane adhesive from the body.
Important: Do not direct a hard stream of high pressure water to the freshly urethane adhesive.
35. Use a soft spray of water in order to watertest the rear window immediately.
36. Warm or hot water is preferred in order to accelerate the cure of adhesive.
37. Inspect the window for leaks:
If any leaks are found, use a plastic paddle in order to apply extra urethane adhesive at the leak point.
38. Retest the window for leaks.
39. The following conditions must be maintained to properly cure the urethane:
1. Allow the vehicle to remain at room temperature (21°C or 70°F) at 30 percent relative humidity.
Caution: At least 24 hours are required for complete curing of repair material. The repair area should not be physically distrubed
until after that time. Insufficient curing of urethane adhesive may allow unrestrained occupants to be ejected from the vehicle
resulting in personal injury.
2. Allow a minimum of 6 hours for the moisture curing urethane adhesive.
3. Allow a minimum of 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours for the chemical curing urethane adhesive.
4. Partially lower a door window in order to prevent pressure buildups when closing doors before the urethane adhesive cures.
5. Do not drive the vehicle until the urethane adhesive is fully cured. Refer to the above curing times.
