minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.

edges are fully seated on the adhesive all the way around. Do not open or close the doors until the adhesive is dry.

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, 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.
