3. NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. For minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld, see the manufacturer's recommendations.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in.) base of the original equipment on the pinch weld.
4. If reinstalling the original windshield glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive from the windshield glass.
5. NOTE: If the moulding is already on the windshield glass, proceed to the next step.
Align the "V" notch in the ceramic paint and windshield moulding at top center. Fully seat the windshield moulding along the top edge of the
windshield glass and along the sides and bottom edges of the windshield glass.
6. Clean the windshield glass with a non-alcohol based window 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.
NOTE: Sika uses the same black primer for the glass and pinch weld area.
If installing a new windshield glass, apply urethane 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 applies the urethane with less effort and continuous bead.
Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld. Make sure that all gaps in the urethane
adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead starting and ending at the bottom of the windshield glass near the center.
