NOTE: Lubricate the existing urethane adhesive with water to aid the Deluxe Windshield Removal Tool while cutting.

down, across the D-pillar, then across the bottom.
3. Remove the rear quarter window glass.
Installation
NOTE: For additional material guidelines, refer to the manufacturer's installation information.
1. Dry fit the rear quarter window glass to the existing urethane adhesive bead on the body pinch weld.
-
For a uniform fit, use the 2 alignment pins on the rear quarter window glass to align the rear quarter window glass in the opening.
-
Use a non-permanent pencil to make alignment marks on the glass and body to aid in the installation alignment of the quarter glass.
2. Remove the rear quarter window glass.
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. Repair all minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld following manufacturer's instructions.
Use the same brand pinch weld primer, glass primer and urethane adhesive.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1 mm (0.04 in) to 2 mm (0.08 in) base of original equipment urethane adhesive on
the pinch weld.
4. Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any dirt or foreign material from the pinch weld.
5. If installing the original rear quarter window glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive.
6. Clean the inside of the rear quarter window glass surface with glass cleaner.
7. NOTE: Be sure to use the same brand and cure-rate products for the urethane adhesive and glass primer. Do not mix different brands of urethane
adhesive and glass primer. For additional information, refer to the Material Chart in this procedure.
If installing a new rear quarter window glass, apply glass primer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
8. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.
9. NOTE: Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane adhesive with less effort and continuous bead.
Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld, starting and ending at the bottom of the rear
quarter window glass opening near the center, making sure there are no gaps in the bead.
