    NOTE:If a new rear quarter window is to be fitted, install the puma decal from the original glass.

Installation
  1. CAUTION:
    CAUTION:Avoid touching the trimmed surface as this will inhibit the new adhesive from bonding.
    Remove the excess PU adhesive from the opening.
    • Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the opening to leave approximately 1 mm of trimmed PU adhered to the bodywork.
  1. CAUTION:
    CAUTION:To make sure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that the bonding surfaces are free of moisture.
    Using a heat gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the window opening and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture.
  1. Prepare the rear quarter window opening in accordance with the instructions supplied with the adhesive kit.

  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:Discard the first 100 mm of PU adhesive as this may have a reduced working time . To avoid water leaks, any breakage in the continuos bead should be overlapped by 20 mm.
    Apply the PU adhesive in a continuos bead between 8 and 10 mm in height to the rear quarter window along the bond line.

  1. Install the rear quarter window.
    1. Press the window firmly and evenly into position.
    1. Make sure the rear quarter window aligns flush with the door opening leading edge.
  1. Should the ambient temperature fall below 10°C, use a heat gun at a distance of approximately 50 mm from the opening and apply warm air (25°C) continuously for 15 minutes (inside or outside the vehicle).
