Installation Procedure
- Apply tape to the new weatherstrip and the rear window to hold the weatherstrip in place.
- Apply adhesive primer to the rear window frame and the perimeter of the rear window.
- Apply glass adhesive to the rear window frame.
WARNING:
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.
- Install the rear window into the rear window frame.
- Reposition the tape over the weatherstrip, the rear window and the rear window frame to hold the rear window in place.
- Let the adhesive dry for 24 hours.
- Remove the tape.
- Inspect for water leaks by pouring water on the rear window. If a leak is found, dry the window and fill the area that leaks with adhesive. If the leak persists, remove the rear window and repeat the entire procedure.
- Connect the rear window defogger electrical connector.
