Warning

•  Always wear gloves when using a utility knife. Using a utility knife with bare hands can cause injury.

Caution

•  If a door is opened or closed when all the door glass is fully closed, the resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack preventing the proper installation of the glass. Keep the door glass open until the rear window glass installation is completed.

1.  Remove sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a utility knife or scraper. (When reusing the glass)

2.  Clean and degrease an approx. 50 mm {2.0 in}wide strip along the perimeter of the glass.

3.  Inspect the glass for cracks. If it is cracked, chamfer it using sandpaper.
