SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The rear window lift glass seal/carrier requires replacement.
PARTS REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1.
Open the swing gate and raise the rear window lift glass.
2.
Close the swing gate.
3.
Support the rear window lift glass. Disconnect both lift gate strut rods at the rear window lift glass.
4.
Lower the rear window lift glass onto the spare tire. Protect the glass at point of contact. This will allow for a convenient work position.
5.
Remove the old seal/carrier from the bottom edge of the rear window lift glass. To assist with removal of the carrier, first peel the weatherstrip
from the plastic carrier. Using a die grinder, split the carrier along the bottom length of the carrier so that the carrier channel is in two parts (outer
and inner). Use a urethane cutting blade to free the carrier parts from the rear window lift glass urethane.
6.
Scrape all existing old urethane from the rear window lift glass.
