Repair Procedures: Installation
- With a putt knife, scrape the old adhesive smooth to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface around the entire quarter fixed glass flange.
- Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
- Mask off surrounding surfaces before painting.
- Remove the fasteners from the body.
- Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep oil, grease and water from getting on the surface.
- With a sponge, apply a light coat of glass primer along the edge of the quarter fixed glass, as shown then lightly wipe it off with gauze or cheese cloth:
- Do not apply body primer to the quarter fixed glass, and do not get body and glass primer sponges mixed up.
- Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the quarter fixed glass properly, causing a leak after the quarter fixed glass in installed.
- Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.
- With a sponge, apply a light coat of body primer to the original adhesive remaining around the flange. Let the body primer dry for at least 10 minutes.
- Do not apply glass primer to the body, and be careful not to mix up glass and body primer sponges.
- Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands.
- Pack adhesive into the cartridge without air pockets to ensure continuous delivery. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a bead of sealant around the edge of the quarter fixed glass (A) as shown. Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
- Install the quarter fixed glass.
- Let the adhesive dry for at least one hour, then spray water over the quarter fixed glass and check for leaks. If a leak occurs, let it dry, then seal with sealant:
- Let the vehicle stand for at least four hours after quarter fixed glass installation. If the vehicle must be driven within 4 hours, it must be driven slowly.
- Reinstall all remaining removed parts.
