Quarter Fixed Glass: Installation
- With a putt knife, scrape the old adhesive smooth to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface around the entire quarter fixed glass flange.
Information
- Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body as bonding strength may get diminished on damaged paint.
- If damaged, apply a repair paint or a antirust.
- Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep the surface away from oil, grease and water.
- Apply a primer along the edge of the quarter fixed glass.
Information
- Do not apply body primer to the quarter fixed 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 quarter fixed glass properly, causing a leak after the quarter fixed glass in installed.
- Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.
- Remove the strands of the sealant attached to the quarter fixed glass.
- Install the quarter fixed glass and nuts.
