Important:
Carefully review the supplemental glass removal instructions below. Refer to SI for a complete list of tools, supplies, and vehicle trim removal
and installation procedures. The urethane and primer instructions in this supplement replace the instructions published in SI for front
windshield, liftgate window, and quarter windows.
Removing the Glass
1.
Cut the glass out by holding the cut-out tool to the edge of the glass with common glass removal technique.
2.
Prepare the window opening by cutting the excess urethane from the body.
2.1.
During the cut-out process, pull and peel the urethane intermittently in a manner that will separate the urethane from the flange.
2.2.
Examine and check for securely bonded urethane, removing any loose urethane.
2.3.
If the urethane is securely bonded, skim-cut the urethane leaving 0.5 mm (0.020 in) to 2 mm (0.080 in) on the flange.
2.4.
Cut the urethane to remove any ridges, notches, or divots.
2.5.
Clean all loose pieces of urethane from the opening.
3.
Repair the body bonding surface.
3.1.
Locate any areas where the primer/urethane did not adhere to the paint surface.
3.2.
If residual primer exists adjacent to the bonding area, remove it by sanding/de-gloss of topcoat with 200 grit GM automotive grade
sandpaper.
3.3.
Clean the bonding surface using a low-lint paint shop quality rag dampened with the glass bonding adhesive manufacturer's recommended
cleaning solvent and allow to flash-dry.
Notice:
DO NOT apply the black body primer on the existing, urethane bead
3.4.
Apply black body primer to the topcoat areas where the previous primer/urethane did not adhere, and as needed adjacent to the skim-cut
bead. Apply to any exposed metal non-class A surface (viewable paint surface after re-trim).
3.5.
Allow the black body primer to dry per the primer manufacturer's requirements prior to installing the glass.
Glass Preparation
1.
The glass must be clean, dry, and free of contaminates prior to the primer application.
Wipe the glass with a clean, low-lint, paint shop quality rag dampened with the glass bonding adhesive manufacturer's recommended cleaning
solvent and allow to flash-dry.
2.
Allow the solvent to fully flash off prior to the application of the glass primer(s).
NOTICE:
The black glass primer application must be Continuous and streak-free in the bonding area.
3.
Apply the glass primer(s) to the glass blackout (frit) per the adhesive/primer manufacturer's requirements using the original/provided dimensions
and locations.
Re-apply the black glass primer if a second coat is necessary. If clear primer is used, do not re-apply the primer on the black. Use black glass
primer on black primer only.
Urethane Application to the Glass
1.
Apply a continuous bead of urethane adhesive over the previously applied glass primers using the original/provided dimensions and locations. The
bead should be a minimum of 14 mm (0.6 in) high and 8 mm (0.3 in) wide at the base, in the shape of a blunt triangle.
