]]A[[ LIFTGATE DAM LOWER/LIFTGATE DAM SIDE/LIFTGATE DAM UPPER/GLASS STOPPER/FASTENER INSTALLATION

1.




As shown in the figure, divide the liftgate dam lower into three pieces.

- Liftgate dam lower center [725 mm (28.5 inches)]

- Liftgate dam lower side (LH, RH) [471 mm (18.5 inches)]





2. By referring to the illustration, cut the end of the liftgate dam lower (liftgate dam lower center, liftgate dam lower side) and liftgate dam side.
3.




Cut both ends of the liftgate dam lower center to 67°.
4.




Cut both ends of the liftgate dam lower side (LH) to 30° and 67°.
5.




Cut both ends of the liftgate dam lower side (RH) to 67° and 30°.
6.




Cut one side of the liftgate dam side (LH) end to 62°.
7.




Cut one side of the liftgate dam side (RH) end to 62°.









8.
CAUTION:

- When adhering the liftgate dam lower center and the liftgate dam lower side, always use the adhesive of specified brand name (otherwise, a blushing occurs to the liftgate dam lower center and the liftgate dam lower side).

- When adhering, do not move the adhered objects for approximately 5 seconds.

- Do not apply excessive amount of adhesive to the application area (if excessive amount is applied, it takes longer for the adhesive to be hardened).

- Ensure that there is no level difference at the adhesion area.

- Ensure that the adhesive does not extrude on the adhesion area surface.

To both ends of the liftgate dam lower center, adhere the liftgate dam lower side (LH, RH) according to the procedure below.
NOTE:
When the liftgate dam lower center and the liftgate dam lower side (LH, RH) are attached together, the liftgate dam lower is complete.

(1) To the 67°-end of the liftgate dam lower center and the 67°-end of the liftgate dam lower side, apply the adhesive.
NOTE:
When applying the adhesive to the adhesion surfaces of the liftgate dam lower center and the liftgate dam lower side (LH, RH), the task becomes easier if a tooth pick is used.

(2) Attach the 67°-end of the liftgate dam lower center with the 67°-end of the liftgate dam lower side.

















9.
CAUTION:

- When adhering the liftgate dam lower and the liftgate dam side, always use the adhesive of specified brand name (otherwise, a blushing occurs to the liftgate dam lower and the liftgate dam side).

- When adhering, do not move the adhered objects for approximately 5 seconds.

- Do not apply excessive amount of adhesive to the application area (if excessive amount is applied, it takes longer for the adhesive to be hardened).

- Ensure that there is no level difference at the adhesion area.

- Ensure that the adhesive does not extrude on the adhesion area surface.

To both ends of the liftgate dam lower, adhere the liftgate dam side (LH, RH) according to the procedure below.
(1) Apply the adhesive only to the lip of the liftgate dam lower 30°-end.
NOTE:
When applying the adhesive to the adhesion surfaces of the liftgate dam lower and the liftgate dam side (LH, RH), the task becomes easier if a tooth pick is used.

(2) Attach together the lip of liftgate dam lower 30°-end with the lip of liftgate dam side 62°-end (ensure that there is no level difference at the lip adhesion area).
(3) After adhering the lip of the liftgate dam lower 30°-end with the lip of the liftgate dam side 62°-end, apply the adhesive to the remaining area.
(4) Adhere the remaining area (ensure that there is no level difference at the tape part).
10.
CAUTION:
Before the next operation, leave the degreased parts for 3 minutes or more to dry. Do not touch the degreased parts.

Use 3M(TM)AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to degrease the inside circumference of the liftgate window glass and the liftgate flanges.
11.




Install the liftgate dam lower, liftgate dam side, and liftgate dam upper according to the procedures below.
(1) Peel the backing paper of the liftgate dam lower.
(2) Adhere the liftgate dam lower to the liftgate window glass.
NOTE:
The liftgate dam lower can be attached cleanly if the liftgate dam lower is attached to the liftgate window glass starting from the adhesion areas of the liftgate dam lower center and the liftgate dam lower side (LH, RH) located at the liftgate dam lower.

(3) Peel the backing paper of the liftgate dam side.
(4) Adhere the liftgate dam side to the liftgate window glass.
NOTE:
The liftgate dam side can be attached cleanly if the liftgate dam side is attached to the liftgate window glass starting from the adhesion areas of the liftgate dam lower and the liftgate dam side (LH, RH) located at the liftgate dam lower.

(5) Peel the backing paper of the liftgate dam upper.
(6) Adhere the liftgate dam upper to the liftgate window glass.
(7) When the liftgate dam side's upper end section is protruding from the liftgate dam upper's upper end section, cut off the upper end section of the liftgate dam side so that the liftgate dam side's upper end section becomes leveled with the liftgate dam upper's upper end section.
12. Install the glass stopper and fastener to the specified positions.





13. Correctly install the fasteners to the specified positions on the liftgate flange.
