Installation
CAUTION: When installing urethane-installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Adequate cure time is
specified on the drive away chart for each urethane product as the temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate or incorrect curing can
adversely affect the retention of the windshield.
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. Align the rear quarter window glass in the
opening for a uniform fit.
2. Use a non-permanent pencil to make alignment marks on the rear quarter window glass at the setting blocks and the body to aid in the installation
alignment of the rear quarter window glass.
3. Remove the rear quarter window glass.
4. NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld, see manufacturer's recommendations.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1 mm to 2 mm base of original equipment urethane on the pinchweld.
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 an alcohol-free glass cleaner.
7. 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. Refer to the Material Chart in this procedure.
NOTE: Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.
If installing a new rear quarter window glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
