3. Clean the inside of the rear quarter window glass surface with glass cleaner, making sure the ceramic coated area is clean.
4. If installing a new rear window glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
CAUTION: If installing a LH rear quarter window on the Hybrid, do not apply urethane glass prep to the polycarbonate vent of the window assembly.
CAUTION: Be sure to use the same brand and cure-rate products for the adhesive and primer. Do not mix different brands of urethane and primer.
NOTE: Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.
5. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.
6. Apply a bead of urethane adhesive starting at the bottom and work around to the sides of the rear quarter window glass.
NOTE: Use caution when applying urethane adhesive. Apply to the outside edges of locating pins on the glass surface.
NOTE: Use either a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane with less effort and a continuous bead.
7. Install the rear quarter window glass, aligning it to the marks previously made.
8. After the urethane has cured, check for water leaks and add urethane adhesive where needed.
NOTE: The urethane adhesive must cure for a minimum of one hour before testing for air or water leaks.
9. If necessary, remove excess urethane adhesive from the exterior surface of the quarter window glass.
10. Install the headliner. See See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Headliner/Service and Repair.
