• 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 opened until the windshield installation is completed.

so that 1— 2 mm {0.04— 0.07 in} thickness of
sealant remains along the perimeter of the frame.

place, apply some primer after degreasing, and
allow it approx. 30 min to dry. Then apply 2 mm
{0.08 in} thickness of new sealant.
