Quarter Window Glass Installation
CAUTION:
- To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door is closed, open all of the windows and leave them open until the sealant has hardened.
- Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1-2 mm (0.04-0.07 in)
thickness of sealant remains around the circumference of the frame.
- If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it 30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create 2 mm (0.08 in) layer.
WARNING:- Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
- Clean and degrease the ceramic part of the glass and around the circumference of the bonding area on the body.
- Use a brush to apply primer to the bonding area of the glass and body, within the region shown.CAUTION:
- Keep the area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the surface or primer may not properly bond to the surface of the glass and body, which may cause leaks to occur.
NOTE:- Use only glass primer on the glass, and body primer on the body. Allow it to dry for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once the primer is dry, apply sealant around the entire circumference to fill the gap between the dam and the edge of the glass measuring 11.0 mm (0.433 in) high and 5.0 mm (0.20 in) wide.
- Align the fasteners and install the glass onto the body.
- Verify the clearance as shown.
Clearance
a: 0 mm (0 in)
b: 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
- Press firmly inward on the glass to compress the sealant.
- Check for water leaks. If a leak is found, wipe the water off well and repeat the installation.
- Install the C-pillar trim. (See C-PILLAR TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
