CAUTION:

Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces.
1. To remove the quarter glass, first remove the quarter trim.
2. From inside the car, use a knife to cut through the quarter glass adhesive all the way around.
NOTE:
-
If the quarter glass is to be reinstalled, take care not to damage the molding.
-
If the molding is damaged, replace the quarter glass, molding and clips as an assembly.
-
If any of the clips are broken, the quarter glass can be reinstalled using butyl tape.
3. Carefully remove the quarter glass.
NOTE:
-
Check the molding for damage, and replace the quarter glass if necessary.

Remove any broken clips from the body.
Installation
1. Scrape the old adhesive smooth with a knife to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in) on the bonding surface around the entire quarter glass
opening flange.
NOTE:
-
Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
-
Mask off surrounding surfaces before applying primer.
2. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol.
NOTE: After cleaning, keep oil, grease and water off the surface.
3. If the old quarter glass is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive, then clean the quarter glass surface with alcohol
where adhesive is to be applied.
NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil and grease.
CAUTION: Avoid setting the quarter glass on its edges; the molding can be permanently deformed.
