Rear Window Glass Installation

WARNING:
  • Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
CAUTION:
  • If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is closed, the resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack preventing the proper installation of the glass. Keep the door glass open until the rear window glass installation is completed.
  1. Remove the sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a razor or scraper, (when reusing the glass)
  2. Clean and degrease an approx. 50 mm {1.97 in}  wide strip along the perimeter of the glass.
  3. Inspect the glass for cracks. If it is cracked, chamfer it using sandpaper.
  4. Install the spacers and pin to the glass as shown in the figure.

    When reusing the glass, align with the alignment mark marked before removing.

  5. Apply glass primer on the glass as shown in the figure then allow it to dry for approx. 30 min.
    CAUTION:
    • To prevent weakening of the primer adhesion, keep the bonding surface free of dirt, moisture, and grease. Do not touch the surface with your hand.
