- Use adhesion promoter to ensure adequate bonding of the coupling.
- To obtain maximum adhesion between the new mobile antenna couplings and the glass surface, keep the couplings and the glass dry and greater than 15°C (60°F) during installation. Allow 6-8 hours at 15°C (60°F) for the adhesive to cure after installation, otherwise the new couplings may not adhere.
- Do not attempt to reinstall the exterior or inner coupling of the original cellular antenna using any type of glue, adhesive tapes, etc. Doing so may eliminate the cellular signal transfer through the glass and reduce the maximum performance of the system, including the air bag deployment notification.
- Disconnect the coaxial cable from the inner coupling of the mobile communication antenna.
- Use a small wide-bladed plastic tool to cut the double back tape material while lifting up on the inner antenna coupling (2).
IMPORTANT:
NOTE:
If you use a razor blade or other sharp tool in order to remove the adhesives or foreign objects from the inside of the rear window, use the blade carefully. Damage to the grid lines may result.
