Caution: Always wear heavy gloves and safety glasses when handling glass to minimize the risk of injury.
Notice: Place protective covers on body to prevent paint damage.
Important: Both body lock pillar upper moldings must be removed.
Caution: When using power tools that may create smoke when cutting urethane sealant, work should be done in a well ventilated area and/or with a NIOSH/MSHA Approved air supplied respirator to prevent possible harmful exposure.
When the urethane adhesive is heated enough to give off smoke, high levels of methylene diisocyanate (MDI) may be present. Unprotected exposure to methylene diisocyanate (MDI) may result in severe, chronic, debilitating respiratory problems.Notice: Care must be taken not to damage the roof when using power glass removal tool.
Notice: Loose material and/or a rough surface on remaining urethane may cause sealing problems during installation.
Important: The glass anti-slide clips will be damaged in the removal process. Make certain the anti-slide clips are replaced with new service parts. Do not slide the adjuster upward until the window assembly is installed.
Important: If applied molding becomes loose from the edge of the glass, clear and black prime the affected area. Allow to air dry. Apply a thin bead of urethane and install the molding.
Notice: To prevent corrosion, paint damage around the window opening by the power glass removal tool must be covered with pinchweld primer. Do not prime over existing urethane. Follow manufacturers recommendations for drying time.
Notice: To avoid damage to the outer edge of the glass, be careful not to scratch the glass when removing urethane with a razor blade.
Notice: Loose urethane and/or rough surfaces may cause sealing problems during installation. For cars with a sunroof, it is important to install the fasteners to the new roof assembly before the roof is installed in place.
• | If the existing rear window assembly will be used: |
- | Clean the old urethane from the rear window assembly using a new razor knife. Leave a thin film, approximately 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08 in) around the perimeter of the rear window assembly. |
- | Clean the area with urethane with a quality grade of rubbing alcohol using a clean lint-free cloth, and allow to dry so there is no trace of rubbing alcohol on the rear window assembly or urethane. |
Important: The primer area has a minimum width diameter of 18 mm (0.71 in) in area (A) area. |
• | If a new rear window assembly will be used: |
- | Shake the glass prep primer, Clear #1 or equivalent, well before applying. Apply the glass prep primer, Clear #1 or equivalent, around the entire perimeter of the glass using a dauber. |
- | Wipe the area dry with a clean lint-free cloth. |
4.1. | Shake the glass primer, Black #2 or equivalent, well before applying. |
Important: The primer area has a minimum width diameter of 18 mm (0.71 in) in area (A) area. |
Important: Use the line along the top of the rear window assembly below the rear window assembly upper molding as a guide when applying primer. |
4.2. | With a new dauber apply the glass prep primer , Black #2 or equivalent, around the entire perimeter over Clear #1, or equivalent. |
4.3. | Allow the primer to dry 5 minutes before applying the urethane. |
Bead Dimension
• | Minimum Width: Dimension (B) 10 mm (0.39 in). |
• | Minimum Height: Dimension (C) 14 mm (0.55 in). |
Notice: Until the new urethane has cured, air pressure from a closing door may cause the glass to move. To prevent this, lower the opposite side door window a minimum of 76 mm (3 in) before closing the door.
Important: The vehicle must remain at normal room temperature for 6 hours to complete proper cure of the adhesive. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendation.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 9 N·m (80 lb in).
Caution: Always wear heavy gloves and safety glasses when handling glass to minimize the risk of injury.

Notice: Using thick tape, tape quarter glass encapsulation to protect from damage.
Important: Rear compartment lid must be in the full open position.
Notice: Loose urethane and/or rough surfaces may cause sealing problems during installation. For cars with a sunroof, it is important to install the fasteners to the new roof assembly before the roof is installed in place.
Tape the rear compartment lid in a half open position to provide clearance for installing the glass.
Important: The glass anti-slide clips will be damaged in the removal process. Make certain the anti-slide clips are replaced with new service parts. Do not slide the adjuster upward until the window assembly is installed.
