Adhesive Installation of Stationary Windows

1. Remove all mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive from the pinch-weld area.
2. If the original window is being reused, remove all but a thin film of the existing urethane adhesive from the window surface by using a clean utility knife or razor blade scraper.
3. Inspect the following components for the causes of a broken window: The flange of the window opening The window reveal molding
4. Inspect for any of the following problems in order to help prevent future breakage of the window: High weld Solder spots on the pinchweld Hardened sealer Any other obstruction or irregularity in the pinch-weld flange
5. After repairing the opening as indicated, perform the following steps: Remove all traces of broken glass from the outer cowl panel, seats, floor and defroster ducts. Clean around the edge of the inside surface of the window with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water by volume on a dampened lint free cloth.
6. Verify all primers and urethane adhesive are within expiration dates.
7. Shake the pinch-weld primer black #3 for at least 1 minute.
8. Use a new dauber in order to apply the primer to the surface of the pinch-weld flange (1).
9. Allow the pinch-weld primer to dry for approximately 10 minutes.
10. Install the windshield (1) and the VIN plate filler strip, if equipped.
11. Install the window to the vehicle.
12. Install the new windshield acoustic strip (1) to the windshield (2), if equipped or damaged. The acoustic strip aids in reducing noise.
13. If installing a new window reveal molding, start in the center and work toward each end pressing firmly into place.
14. With the aid of an assistant, dry fit the window (1) to the opening in order to determine the correct position.
15. Use masking tape in order to mark the locations (1) of the window (2) in the opening.
16. Cut the masking tape in the center and remove the window from the opening.
17. Use a new dauber in order to apply glass prep clear #1 to the area approximately 10-16 mm (3/8-5/8 in) around the entire perimeter of the window inner surface. Immediately wipe the glass primed area using a clean, lint-free cloth.
18. Apply a second coat of the glass prep clear #1 to the same area of the glass.
19. Shake the glass primer black #2 for at least 1 minute.
20. Use a new dauber in order to apply the glass primer black #2 to the same areas (2) that glass prep clear #1 was applied.
21. Allow the glass primer to dry for approximately 10 minutes.
22. Cut the applicator nozzle in order to provide a bead of 12.7 mm (1/2 in) wide and 12.7 mm (1/2 in) high.
23. Use a cartridge-type caulking gun in order to apply a smooth, continuous bead of urethane adhesive.
24. Use the edge of the window or the inside edge of the reveal molding as a guide for the nozzle in order to apply the urethane adhesive (1) to the inner surface of the window (3).
25. With the aid of an assistant, place the window in the opening. If installing a windshield, place the windshield on the lower supports (2), if equipped.
26. Align the masking tape (1) lines on the window (2) and the body.

29. Clean any excess urethane adhesive from the body.
30. Use a soft spray of warm water in order to immediately water test the window.
31. Inspect the window for leaks.
32. If any leaks are found, use a plastic paddle in order to apply extra urethane adhesive at the leak point.
33. Retest the window for leaks.
34. Maintain the following conditions in order to properly cure the urethane adhesive: Partially lower a door window in order to prevent pressure buildups when closing doors before the urethane adhesive cures. Do not drive the vehicle until the urethane adhesive is cured. Refer to the above curing times. Do not use compressed air in order to dry the urethane adhesive.
35. Complete the window installation.

Full-Cut Method Description

Use only the full cut method, also known in the field as full strip method, when installing windows.

This method includes the following

1. The replacement of a majority of the urethane adhesive bead. Remove all but approximately 2 mm (3/64 in) of the existing bead of urethane adhesive from the pinch-weld flange.
2. Apply pinch-weld primer to any exposed painted areas on the pinch-weld flange.

No mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive should remain on the pinch-weld flange. Do not remove all traces of urethane adhesive.
