id091200002600

  Warning
  • Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.

  Caution
  • If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is 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 quarter window glass installation is completed.

1. Remove sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a razor or scraper. (when reusing the glass)

2. Clean and degrease the ceramic part along the perimeter of the glass.

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

4. If the glass is reused, attach the pins and fastener to the glass as shown in the figure.

Align with the alignment marks marked before removing the glass.

5. Apply glass primer along the hollowed marks in the ceramic coating on the new glass, along the sealant tracks on the reused glass, then allow it to dry for approx. 30 min.

  Caution
  • To prevent weakening of the primer adhesion, keep the bonding surface free of dirt, moisture, and grease. Do not touch the surface with your hand.

  Note
  • Apply primer to the hollowed marks in the ceramic coating.

6. Cut away the old sealant using a razor or scraper so that 1—2 mm {0.04—0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains along the perimeter of the frame.

8. Clean and degrease the bonding surface along the perimeter of the body.

9. Apply body primer on the body as shown in the figure, then allow it to dry for approx. 30 min.
