Installation
1. Using a knife, scrape the old adhesive smooth to a
thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding
surface around the entire rear window opening
flange.
NOTE:
• Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the
body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding
• Mask off surrounding surfaces before painting.
• Remove the rubber dam, fasteners and spacers
from the body.
2. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge
dampened in alcohol.
NOTE: After cleaning, keep oil, grease and water
from getting on the surface.
3. If the old rear window is to be reinstalled, use a putty
knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive and the
rubber dam, then clean the rear window surface with
alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied.
NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free
of water, oil and grease.
CAUTION: Avoid setting the rear window on its
edges; small chips may later develop into cracks.
