This method uses a small bead of urethane adhesive in order to adhere the window in the opening to the original urethane adhesive bead.

Use the short method when the original bead of urethane adhesive meets 1 of the following conditions:

• Intact, without portions of the bead missing
• Solidly adhered to the pinchweld flange with no corrosion present on the flange
• Uniform in shape - Smooth, without multiple cuts or loose material present

Also use the short method under the following conditions:
