Use the short method where the original urethane adhesive
bead left on the window opening pinchweld flange (after window removal) can
serve as a base for the new window. This method uses a small bead of
urethane adhesive in order to adhere the window in the opening to the
original urethane adhesive bead.
Use the short method when the original bead of urethane adhesive meets
1 of the following conditions:
| • | Intact, without portions of the bead missing |
| • | Solidly adhered to the pinchweld flange with no corrosion present
on the flange |
| • | Uniform in shape - Smooth, without multiple
cuts or loose material present |
Also use the short method under the following conditions:
| • | When repainting of the opening or collision repair/sheet metal
replacement is not required. |
| • | When urethane adhesive deterioration is not evident (no powdery
residue). |
