INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

  1. Use an Urethane Adhesive and follow the instructions furnished with it.
  2. While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
  3. The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no gap.
  4. Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNINGKeep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable. The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. If affected by vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh air. Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance of the windshield in case of an accident.
CAUTIONDo not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after the date of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box. Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator. Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off. The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidities. The curing time will increase under lower temperatures and lower humidities.

Repairing Water Leaks for Side Window Glass

Leaks can be repaired without removing or reinstalling glass.

If water is leaking between urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage.

This can be done by applying water to the side window area while pushing glass outward.

To stop leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
