Condition

Some customers may comment that the rear window molding is loose in the corners.

Cause

The urethane bead under the glass may not be far enough outboard to adhere to the molding in the corners.

Correction

  1. Pull the molding up in the corners, just enough to clean the molding area.
  2. Clean the molding with a non-oil based cleaner.
  3. Apply a small amount of urethane under the bottom of the molding.
  4. Tape the molding in place for 24 hours. After that time, remove the tape.
