Rear Quarter Window Glass: Installation

CAUTION:
  • After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. The curing time at temperatures above 13°C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours. (See the Essex drive away chart for the cure times as temperatures and humidity vary.) Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect the strength of the urethane bond.
  1. Dry fit the quarter window glass, making alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil.

    CAUTION:
    • Do not scratch the pinch weld area.
  2. Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld to within the specification.
    • The existing urethane adhesive surface should be smooth and free of cuts and contamination
      CAUTION:
      • Use caution when applying metal primer. Apply a light amount of primer. Too much primer will run and damage the painted surface.
  3. Use a wool applicator to apply metal primer to any exposed metal on the pinch weld. Allow 6 to 10 minutes to dry.
  4. Clean the inside of the quarter glass surface with alcohol-free cleaner, making sure the ceramic coated area is clean
    NOTE:
    • Wipe off the glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries.
  5. Apply glass prep twice around the glass surface to be urethaned.
  6. Apply glass primer to the same area that was prepped in the previous step. Allow five minutes to dry.
