Rear Window Reveal Molding Replacement

Rear Window Reveal Molding Replacement

Removal Procedure

Important: The window reveal molding is an applied molding design that is separate from the window. The reveal molding may be replaced with the window as an assembly, or the reveal molding may be available as a separate part. The window molding can only be replaced by removing the window. The old molding can not be reused.







1. Remove the rear window. Refer to Rear Window Replacement (Rear Window Replacement).
2. Place the window (1) on a clean prepared surface.



Installation Procedure


Important: Apply the window reveal moldings in an environment that is free from dust or other dirt that could come into contact with the sticky backing. Foreign material may cause improper adhesion.


1. Clean around the edge of the inside surface of the window with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water by volume on a dampened lint free cloth.
2. Using a heat gun, ensure that the temperature of the window and the reveal molding is approximately 29-32°C (85-90°F).




3. Apply masking tape around the window, 8.5 mm (0.33 in) from the window edge (A), as a guide for locating the window reveal molding.
4. Remove the protective liner from the back of the window reveal moldings.




5. Position the upper window reveal molding (2) and the lower window reveal molding (3) to the location tape. Press the molding to the mounting surface.




6. Apply equal pressure along the window reveal moldings to uniformly bond the molding to the window.
7. Remove the tape from around the window.
8. Install the rear window. Refer to Rear Window Replacement (Rear Window Replacement).
