REAR WINDOW GLASS INSTALLATION

id091200801600

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.

Note

• Apply primer to the hollowed marks in the ceramic coating.

6. Cut away the old sealant using a razor or scraper so that 1— 2 mm {0.04— 0.07 in} thickness of sealant

remains along the perimeter of the frame.

7. Clean and degrease the bonding area along the perimeter of the body.
8. When reusing the liftgate, apply primer to the area where the sealant has come off completely and 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.
