id091200000881

Caution

• Proper installation of the rear window glass may be difficult if sealant is cracked or the glass is pushed out by air pressure when a door is opened/closed with all the window glass closed. Leave all the windows open until the rear window glass is installed completely.

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

Warning

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