Grand AM V6-3.4L VIN E (2001)
22. If using the extended method, cut the applicator nozzle in order to provide a bead 10.5 mm (0.14 in) wide and 10.5 mm (0.14 in) high.
23. Use a cartridge type caulking gun to apply a smooth, continuous bead of urethane adhesive.
24. When using the short method, apply the urethane adhesive to the existing bead of urethane adhesive on the body.
25. When using the extended method, use the edge of the stationary window as a guide for the nozzle in order to apply the (2) urethane adhesive to the
inner surface of the (3) stationary window.
26. Use suction cups and, with the aid of an assistant, install the stationary window into the opening.
27. Align the tape on the stationary window and the body.
28. Press the stationary window firmly into place.
29. Tape the stationary window to the body in order to minimize movement.
30. Clean any excess urethane adhesive from the body.
Important: Do not direct a hard stream of high pressure water to the freshly applied urethane adhesive.
31. Use a soft spray in order to water test the stationary window immediately.
32. If any leaks are found, use a plastic paddle in order to apply extra urethane at the leak point.
33. Retest stationary window for leaks.
Caution: Insufficient curing of urethane adhesive may allow unrestrained occupants to be ejected from the vehicle resulting in personal
injury.
*
For the moisture-curing type of urethane adhesive, allow a minimum of 6 hours at 21°C (70°F) or greater and with at least 30 percent relative
humidity. Allow at least 24 hours for the complete curing of the urethane adhesive.
*
For the chemical-curing type of urethane adhesive, allow a minimum of 1 hour.
Do NOT physically disturb the repair area until after these minimum times have elapsed.
The following conditions must be maintained to properly cure the urethane.
1. Partially lower a door window in order to prevent pressure buildups when closing doors before the urethane adhesive cures.
