SIDE WINDOW GLASS

1.Remove the rear pillar finisher. Refer to Removal and Installation.

2.Apply protective tape on body panel around side window glass to protect painted surfaces from damage.

3.Cut the adhesive from passenger room side. Use a windshield cutter for straight section. For the area that the windshield cutter cannot be used, use piano wire or a cutter knife.
(1)With a windshield cutter


1)Apply soapy water around the bonded area on the body for smooth movement of the windshield cutter (A).
2)Insert windshield cutter into the bonded area. Cut adhesive by pulling the knife, keeping the tip parallel to body flange edge.
(2)With piano wire
1)Pass both sides of piano wire through each passenger room side from the area cut by the windshield cutter.

2)Tie both ends of the piano wire (B) to the wire grip (A), etc.


3)Lift up the molding using a plastic spatula, pass the piano wire through the inside of molding, and then cut the adhesive by pulling the wire grips alternately.
■ CAUTION ■
Never contact the piano wire with the coated panel surface.

(3)With a cutter knife
1)Working from inside vehicle, insert cutter knife between side window glass and body panel. Guide cutter edge along molding to cut off adhesive.
■ CAUTION ■
Never contact painted surfaces with the cutter knife tip.

4.Use piano wire to cut the side window glass mounting clip. Use rubber suction cups or suction lifter to remove the glass from the vehicle.

1.Using a scraper, remove remaining adhesive on the body side down to approximately a depth that is 2 mm thick (a) so that entire contour becomes smooth.


■ CAUTION ■
If the bonded area on the body is scratched, repair it with a two-liquid type urethane paint. Never use lacquer type paint.

2.Clean bonded and surrounding area on glass with white gasoline or degreasing agent.

3.Apply primer for the glass along the entire circumference of the glass.
• Use the sealing kit for glass application and the special holder for cartridge or similar tools.
■ CAUTION ■
There are 2 types of primer. Never confuse the application methods.

• Primer for painted surfaces
  
• Primer for glass
  


NOTE：
The essential function of primers is to strengthen adhesion between glass and painted surface.

4.Apply primer for the painted surface to the body side bonding surface.
■ CAUTION ■
• If the body side bonding surface is repaired with a two-liquid type urethane paint, always apply the primer after drying the paint.
  
• If primer for painted surfaces adheres to a painted surface other than the bonding area, or if it overflows, quickly remove it with white gasoline or degreasing agent.
  

5.Apply adhesive along glass edge within the time period indicated in the service manual after applying primer with the procedure shown in the Exploded View.
NOTE：
Open adhesive by cutting off the nozzle tip and set it in a sealant gun.

6.After setting rubber suction cups or suction lifter to glass, align matching marks on body and glass. Install glass to the body.

7.Press the entire surface of the glass lightly to fit it completely.

8.Correct any adhesive overflow or shortage using a spatula to make the surface smooth.
■ CAUTION ■
After installing glass, keep the front door glass open until the adhesive has completely cured. Avoid driving the vehicle.

9.Remove the protective tape.

10.Install the removed parts.

■ CAUTION ■

Wait at least 2 hours after installing the glass because the adhesive must be cured before performing the leakage test.
