Preparatory work
Remove the side section of the dashboard.
Remove the front pillar trim.
Remove the body seal.
Remove the front strut trim.
Removing
1. To prevent damage to painted surfaces, stick a protective tape around the perimeter of the glass.
2. From the passenger compartment, insert a knife between the glass of the side window and the body panel and, moving along the molding, cut off the glue.
Attention:
During operation, do not touch painted surfaces with a knife.
Do not reuse the side window glass.
3. Release clips and take out glass from a body.
Installation
1. Using a knife, scrape off the traces of adhesive from the rear side panel of the car body so that a flat layer 2 mm thick remains.
Note: If body side adhesive area is damaged, repair with 2-component urethane paint, do not use paint.
2. Clean the adhesive area on the glass with clean gasoline.
3. Apply a primer.
Note: The primer plays an important role and contributes to the strength of the glass bonding and the preservation of the paintwork.
There are 2 types of primers, do not mix them up.
- Primer M: for painted surfaces
- Primer G: for glass
4. Apply primer M to the bonding area on the body.
Note: If Primer M protrudes beyond the application area on the painted surface, remove it quickly with clean gasoline.
5. After applying the primer within the time specified in the instructions, apply glue to the glass around the entire perimeter, as shown in the figure.
Remove the cap from the glue tube and cut off the spout, then apply the glue with a press gun.
6. With rubber suction cups (special tool) align the holes on the body and the clips on the glass and install the glass on the car.
7. Apply light pressure to the entire surface of the glass and seat the glass completely.
8. Using a spatula, spread the adhesive evenly over the surface, removing it from where it is in excess and adding it where it is not enough.
Note: After installing the glass, open the door windows and do not close until the adhesive has hardened sufficiently. Do not drive your vehicle during this time.
9. Make sure there is no water seepage from the outside.
10. Remove the protective tape.
