5. Using nippers, remove the remains of the molding from the flange section of the body and completely remove it from the bonding surface to the glass.
Installation
1. Apply a primer between the glass and the panel, then apply enough adhesive to adhere the molding.
Note: The primer contributes to the bonding strength of the glass to the painted surface.
There are 2 primers available. Don't mix them up.
Primer «M»: for painted surfaces
Primer «G»: for glass
If primer «M» sticks out on the surface of the body beyond the area where the adhesive is applied, quickly remove it with clean gasoline.
2. Apply primer around the entire perimeter of the molding as shown.
3. Align the mark on the molding (white mark in the center of the molding) with the center mark of the upper edge of the glass on the spacer, push in so that the lower tab of the molding engages the glass, then continue to push outward.
Attention: After installing the molding, make sure that there are no abnormalities, for example, if the protrusion is peeling off and if there are any wrinkles on the molding.
4. Remove the protective tape.
5. Remove the double-sided adhesive tape from the front fender cover and apply primer (Sumitomo 3M K520) on the area where the double-sided adhesive tape is attached, as shown in the figure on the right. Then, stick a new double-sided adhesive tape and install the front fender.
