REMOVAL SERVICE POINT

[A] QUARTER WINDOW GLASS ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. For protection of the body (coated surface), apply cloth tape to all around the body where the glass is installed.
2. Using a cutter knife, cut oft the quarter window molding along its edge.




3. Run a wire between the glass and the body at the upper portion of the quarter window and pull it back and forth along the glass to cut through the adhesive. When doing so, pay attention to the clip grommet.

CAUTION: Hold the window glass with the glass holders to prevent It from falling when the adhesive is cut through.




4. Using a sharp knife, scoop out existing adhesive from the body flange to 2 mm (0.08 in.) or less thickness all around the window opening.
5. Finish smooth the flange surface.

CAUTION:
1. Do not remove the adhesive more than necessary
2. Use care not to damage the coated surface of the body with the knife. If it is damaged, apply retouch paint or anti-corrosive.
6. Degrease using with isopropyl alcohol.

CAUTION: After degreasing, allow three minutes or more to dry well before next work. Do not touch the degreased surface.

]B[ QUARTER WINDOW GLASS ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1. Apply a uniform coat of primer to the illustrated areas of the body and glass making sure it is applied without breaks or thin spots.
Specified primer:
3M ATD Part No.8608 Super Fast Urethane Primer or equivalent

CAUTION:
1. Always use the primer to strengthen bonding power. Make sure that it covers the surfaces completely. Note that the primer if applied too thick can cause loss of bonding power.
2. Never touch the primer coated surface.

2. Allow 3 to 30 minutes to dry the primer.




3. Within 30 minutes after applying the primer, fill the sealant gun with adhesive and apply the adhesive evenly around the entire circumference of the glass.
Specified adhesive:
3M ATD Part No.8609 Super Fast Urethane or equivalent

NOTE: Cut the nozzle tip of the sealant gun into a V shape to facilitate adhesive application.

4. After application of the adhesive, force the glass lightly and evenly onto the body for complete fitting.
5. Remove the adhesive from around and on the glass and body surfaces using a spatula and wipe the surfaces clean.
6. After the work (installation of the glass), allow the glass to stand until the adhesive hardens.

CAUTION: When using an infrared lamp or other means for quicker hardening, keep the surface temperature 60° C (140° F) or lower.

7. After about 30 minutes or more following bonding of the quarter window glass to the body, check for water leaks.

CAUTION:
1. If the vehicle is to be moved, do so gently.
2. When checking for water leaks, do not squeeze the hose end.
