Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the Interior Auto Glass Cut-Out Knife Kit when cutting the urethane adhesive.
5. WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Wear protective gloves when handling components or parts that have pointed or sharp edges. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: To avoid rust formation, use extreme care not to scratch the paint or primer or otherwise damage the pinchweld during
glass removal.
NOTE:
-
Insert the blade into the special tool so that the flat side is against the glass. This will leave the entire urethane adhesive bead on the pinchweld
and allow a dry fit of the replacement rear window glass.
-
Support the rear window glass to prevent the glass from dropping while cutting the urethane adhesive.
Insert the special tool at the upper center of the rear window glass and work toward the bottom corners.
6. Using the special tool, distance the rear window glass from the body.
7. Insert the Interior Auto Glass Cut-Out Knife Kit into the bottom of the urethane adhesive and cut from corner to corner.
8. Carefully remove the rear window glass from the vehicle and place on a stable work surface.
Installation
1. Dry-fit the rear window glass on the existing urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld.
-
Position the glass on the pinch weld.
-
Center the glass in the opening.
-
Make alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil on the rear window glass and the body.
2. After the dry-fit alignment, remove the glass from the body opening and place on a stable work surface with the interior side of the glass facing
upward.
3. WARNING: Repair any corrosion found on the pinch weld. The pinch weld is a structural component of the vehicle. Corrosion left
unrepaired may reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle
occupant(s).
NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld, see the manufacturer's recommendations.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) base of original equipment urethane on the pinchweld.
