Rear Window Glass Installation
REAR WINDOW GLASS INSTALLATION
WARNING:
-
Using a utility knife with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a utility knife.
CAUTION:
-
Proper installation of the glass may be difficult if sealant is cracked or the glass is pushed out by air pressure when a door is opened/closed with all
the window glass closed. Keep the door glass open until the rear window glass installation is completed.
1. Remove sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a utility knife or scraper. (When reusing the glass)
2. Clean and degrease an approx. 50 mm {2.0 in} wide strip along the perimeter of the glass.
3. Inspect the glass for cracks. If it is cracked, chamfer it using sandpaper.
4. Install the spacers, fasteners, and pins to the glass as shown in the figure.
When reusing the glass, align it with the alignment mark placed before the glass was removed.
5. Apply glass primer on the glass as shown in the figure then allow it to dry for approx. 30 min.
CAUTION:
-
To prevent weakening of the primer adhesion, keep the bonding surface free of dirt, moisture, and grease. Do not touch the surface with your
hand.
NOTE:
-
Apply primer to the hollowed marks in the ceramic coating.
6. Cut away the old sealant using a utility knife or scraper so that 1-2 mm {0.04-0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains along the perimeter of the
frame.
