15. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a bead of adhesive (A) around the edge of the quarter glass (B) as shown:
-
After applying the adhesive, peel the separator off the butyl tape.
-
Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
16. Use suction cups (A) to hold the quarter glass (B) over the opening, align the clips or the alignment marks (C) made in step 10, and set it down on
the adhesive. Lightly push on the quarter glass until its edges are fully seated on the adhesive all the way around. Do not open or close the doors
until the adhesive is dry.
17. Scrape or wipe any excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted surface or the quarter glass, wipe with a
soft shop towel dampened with alcohol.
18. Let the adhesive dry for at least 1 hour, then spray water over the quarter glass and check for leaks. Mark the leaking areas and let the quarter
glass dry, then seal with sealant. Let the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after quarter glass installation. If the vehicle has to be used within the
first 4 hours, it must be driven slowly.
19. Reinstall all remaining removed parts.
