INSTALLATION OF WINDSHIELD WITH NEW ADHESIVE
ONLYThis method is recommended if there is a considerable loss of
adhesion between the old adhesive material and the body
opening, or body opening requires repair. All adhesive materialmust be removed from the pinch-weld flanges.
1. Using a knife or similar tool, remove the old adhesive
material from the pinch weld flanges.
2.Using tape or some other suitable means, mark the bondedareas of the body and the glass at several positions.
3. Using a clean, lint-free cloth liberally dampened with
isopropyl alcohol, prime the pinch-weld flange.
4. If the pinch-weld flange has been repainted, prime it with a
paint finish primer.
Caution1. Do not use blackout glass primer on the pinch-weld
q
flange.2. If the pinch-weld flanges require painting, use a bake-
Lon type paint.
5. For the rest of the service procedure, refer to Installation of
WINDSHIELD on
