Completely remove the old adhesive from the body window opening when the vehicle undergoes body damage repair or repainting. Apply tape around the body in order to prevent paint damage. Use a sharp scraper or chisel in order to remove the old adhesive.

With the exception of the use of primers and the amount of adhesive applied during installation, the short method is identical to the extended method.

18. Use a plastic paddle, a flat-bladed tool, or a disposable brush in order to paddle in extra adhesive at the leak point.
19. If the leak persists, remove the window in order to repeat the entire installation procedure. Refer to Water Hose Test in Waterleaks.

•	Do not drive the vehicle until the adhesive is set.

•	Do not use compressed air, heat, or infrared light in order accelerate drying time.
