Do not apply body primer to the glass, and do not get body and glass primer sponges mixed up.
Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the glass properly, causing a leak after the glass is installed.
Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.
