WARNING: Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
CAUTION: To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door Is closed, open all of the windows and
leave them open until the sealant has hardened.
1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1 - 2 mm {0.04 - 0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains around the circumference of the frame.
-
If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after decreasing, and allow it 30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to
create a 2 mm {0.08 in} layer.
2. Clean and degrease an approximately 50.0 mm {1.97 in} wide strip around the circumference of the glass and the bonding area on the body.
3. Securely bond a dam around the circumference of the glass 8.0 mm {0.31 in} from the edge.
CAUTION: Keep the area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the surface or the primer may not properly bond to the surface of the glass
and body which may cause leaks to occur.
