INSTALLATION

1.

Using a scraper, remove remaining adhesive (sealant) on the
body side down to approximately a depth that is 2.0 mm (0.079
in) thick (a) so that entire contour becomes smooth.

CAUTION:

If the bonded area on the body is scratched, repair it with a
two-liquid type urethane paint. Never use lacquer type
paint.

2.

When reusing the glass (2), use the cutter (A) to remove the
remaining adhesive (1) (sealant) and smooth out the surface.

3.

Mount the glass onto the vehicle and paint matching marks on the body and glass when installing new
glass. Then remove the glass again.

4.

Use the rubber suction cups or suction lifter (A) to set the glass
(1) on the glass stand (B).

5.

Clean the bonded area on the glass and body with white gasoline or degreasing agent.

• Primer for glass
NOTE:
The essential function of primers is to strengthen adhesion between glass and painted surface.

8.

Apply primer for the painted surface to the body side bonding surface.

CAUTION:

• If the body side bonding surface is repaired with a two-liquid type urethane paint, always apply

the primer after drying the paint.

• If primer for painted surfaces adheres to a painted surface other than the bonding area, or if it

overflows, quickly remove it with white gasoline or degreasing agent.

9.

Affix the dam rubber and apply adhesive along the edge of the glass within the time period indicated in the
instruction manual after applying primer.
• When reusing the glass, affix new dam rubber at the same place where old dam rubber was affixed.
• When installing new glass, apply the dam rubber from the edge of the glass so as to hide the black print.

CAUTION:

Apply the dam rubber (1) to the outer edge of the outline
mark of black print as shown in Exploded View. Apply it so
as to only place it without pulling.
NOTE:
Open adhesive by cutting off the nozzle tip and set it in a sealant
gun.

10. Use rubber suction cups or suction lifter (A) that are installed in

advance, align the matching marks to install.

CAUTION:

2 or more workers are required when installing the glass.

11. Press the entire surface of the glass lightly to fit it completely.

12. Correct any adhesive overflow or shortage using a spatula to make the surface smooth.

CAUTION:

After installing glass, keep the front door glass open until the adhesive is completely cured. Avoid
driving the vehicle.
