4) Degrease the rear gate glass (passenger room

side) molding adhesive surface (A) with a primer.

5) Remove the backing paper of the molding, and

match the silver print (1) and the end of the mold-

ing.

6) Match the corner of the molding to the corner of

the glass end surface, and adhere the molding to

be within the silver print (1) on both sides.
CAUTION:

• Apply the molding without pulling it, and

while applying pressure.

• After applying, push on the molding lightly to

affix securely.

• Temporarily mount the glass, and make sure

that there are no gaps between the molding and

the rear gate panel.
NOTE:

When application of the molding is finished, if there

is protrusion from the silver print (1) on the other

side, cut with a razor blade so that the left and right

are symmetric, and so that it fits between the silver

print (1) and (2).

7) Degrease the rear gate glass seal adhesion sur-

face (B) with primer.

8) Remove the backing sheet of the sticker, and

apply the sealer based on the positions of the silver

print (3) and (4) of the rear gate glass (passenger

room side).

CAUTION:

• Because the seal is applied on top of the

molding, make sure to apply so that there is no

gap at side face (C) of the molding.

• Apply so that the end of the seal does not

protrude from the end of the glass. If it pro-

trudes from the glass, reapply.
