- Remove the headliner. For additional information, refer to «HEADLINER»(ref-171754-S09027903012005021100000) . NOTE: Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the special tool when cutting. NOTE: Locating tabs need to be cut through in order to remove the rear quarter glass. The new quarter window glass will be equipped with new locating tabs.
- Using the special tool, cut the urethane adhesive from the quarter window glass starting at the top center and working toward the bottom corners and remove the rear quarter window glass.
- Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any foreign material or dirt from the pinch weld.
Installation
| CAUTION | After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. The curing time at temperatures above 13°C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours. (Refer to the Essex drive away chart for the cure times as temperatures and humidity vary.) Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect the strength of the urethane bond. |
