²Clean the 16-mm (5/8-in) wide surface area around
the glass with isopropyl alcohol.
²Thoroughly mix and apply glass blackout primer
to the 16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the in-
terior side of the glass (Fig. 3).

(Fig. 7).
CAUTION: Be prepared to install glass immediately
after applying the adhesive, as the adhesive will be-
gin to cure in less than 10 minutes.
(12) Apply a continuous, 6-mm (1/4-in) diameter
bead of urethane adhesive to the surface area.(13) Align the glass with the reference marks and
position the glass on the pinchweld flanges. Ensure
that the windshield glass is correctly seated on the
support spacers.
(14) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid
excessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(15) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at urethane. If any leaks
are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(16) If used remove the masking tape from the in-
ner surface of the glass.
(17) Install all components and clean the vehicle.
(18) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane is curing.If not
vented, pressure in the interior of the vehicle
may interfere with proper glass bonding.
(19) Install the rearview mirror.
