Removal
  1. Remove the polyurethane (PU) adhesive cap and heat the PU adhesive for a minimum of 30 minutes.

  1. WARNING:
    WARNING:Wear gloves and eye protection when working with the glass cutting tool as the cutting operation may produce splinters. When using the cutter wear ear protectors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
    CAUTION:
    CAUTION:Make sure the cutting blades are changed where the cutting depth changes to avoid damage to the body and trim panels.
    NOTE:
    NOTE:Some resistance may be encountered when cutting through the glass locating pegs in the upper corners of the glass.
    Using a suitable direct glazing cutter for bonded glass, cut the PU adhesive and, with the aid of another technician, use glazing suction cups to remove the second row side window glass.
    • Cut the PU adhesive from inside the vehicle to the given maximum depths.
    1. 25 mm.
    1. 50 mm.
    1. 100 mm.
    1. 105 mm.
    1. 120 mm.
    1. 130 mm.

Installation

  1. Carefully remove the remaining part of the glass locating pegs from the second row window glass flange.

  1. NOTE:
    NOTE:Make sure the spacers located at the lower corners of the second row window glass flange are secure.
    Carefully trim the remaining PU adhesive from the second row window glass flange to leave approximately 1 mm of trimmed PU adhesive adhered to the flange.
  1. Check the second row side window glass flange for damaged sheet metal, rust or foreign material which may have caused, or may cause, glass breakage.
  1. CAUTION:
    CAUTION:During the curing period of the PU adhesive, the door windows must be left open to avoid a build up of pressure when the doors are opened and closed.
    CAUTION:
    CAUTION:Do not touch the adhesive surface as re-bonding will be impaired.
    CAUTION:
    CAUTION:To make sure that the PU adhesive cures, it is essential that all bonding surfaces are free of moisture.
    Using a hot air gun, apply warm air (25°C) to the second row side window glass flange and glass bond line to remove all traces of moisture.
  1. Prepare the glass, second row side window glass flange and trimmed PU adhesive 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.
    NOTE:
    NOTE:To avoid water leaks, any breakage in the continuous bead must be overlapped by 20 mm.
    Using the mixing/applicator gun, apply the PU adhesive in a continuous bead of between 8 and 10 mm in height to the second row side window glass flange along the bond line.

  1. With the aid of another technician, use glazing suction cups to install the second row side window glass.
    • Press firmly and evenly into position.
  1. Using suitable tape, secure the second row side window glass in the correct position until the PU adhesive has cured.

  1. If the ambient temperature falls below 10°C, use a hot air gun and apply warm air (25°C) continuously for 15 minutes (inside or outside the vehicle).
