Installation

  1. 1
    Scrape the old adhesive smooth with a knife, to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface around the entire glass flange.
    Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
    Remove all traces of the rubber spacer material from the body.
    Mask off surrounding surfaces before applying primer.
  2. 2
    Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol.
    After cleaning, keep oil, grease or water from getting on the surface.
  3. 3
    If the glass is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive, then clean the glass surface with alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied.
    Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil and grease.
