Removal
WARNING: To prevent glass splinters from entering the eyes or cutting the hands, wear safety glasses and heavy gloves when cutting the glass from the vehicle. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
1. Remove the roof opening panel sliding glass.
2. Remove the headliner.
3. Remove the rear fixed glass interior trim ring.
4. CAUTION: Make sure the cutting blades are changed where the cutting depth changes to avoid damage to the body and trim panels.
NOTE:
- Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the special tool when cutting the urethane adhesive. Using the special tool, place the flat side of the knife against the rear glass.
- Using the special tool 164-R2459 (or equivalent), distance the roof opening panel fixed glass from the roof module as needed.
Refer to the adhesive path illustration and cut as follows:
1. CAUTION: Use caution when cutting to prevent damage to the fixed glass front trim seal.
From the inside of the vehicle, start at the front and work towards the front corners.
2. CAUTION: Use caution when cutting to prevent damage to the side trim seals.
Continue working along the side and towards the rear corners.
3. Continue around the inside rear adhesive path.
4. CAUTION: Use caution when cutting along the side to prevent damage to the side trim seals.
From the inside of the vehicle, work along the side of the glass.
5. From the inside of the vehicle, work from the center towards the rear corners.
5. Remove the fixed glass panel assembly.
6. NOTE: Make sure the water channel is free from any foreign material.
Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any dirt or foreign material from the roof opening panel module.
Installation
CAUTION: When installing urethane-installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Adequate cure time is specified on the drive away chart for each urethane product as the temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the glass panel.
NOTE: For additional material guidelines, refer to the manufacturer's installation information.
1. NOTE: Avoid scratching the painted surfaces. For minor scratches or exposed metal, see the manufacturer's recommendations.
Using an appropriate tool, trim the urethane adhesive leaving a 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) base of original equipment urethane along the roof opening module surface.
2. Clean the inside of the glass surface with glass cleaner.
3. CAUTION: Be sure to use the same brand of cure-rate products for the adhesive and primer. Do not mix different brands of urethane and primer. Refer to the Materials Chart in this procedure.
Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to the specification.
4. NOTE: Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane with less effort and a continuous bead.
Apply urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead. Make sure that all gaps in the urethane adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead.
5. CAUTION: When installing urethane-installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Adequate cure time is specified on the drive away chart for each urethane product as the temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the glass panel.
Apply the fixed glass panel assembly to the roof module. Work the glass panel down using only vertical pressure.
6. Install the rear fixed glass interior trim ring.
7. Install the headliner.
