REAR WINDOW INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before
installing rear window to avoid pressurizing the
passenger compartment. If a door is slammed
before urethane bonding is cured, water leaks can
result.
Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure
before returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement rear window,
the urethane bonding material on the rear window
fence should be smooth and consistent to the
shape of the replacement glass.
(1) Place replacement glass into rear window open-
ing.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement rear window. If not, the fence must be
formed to the shape of the new glass.
(3) Using a grease pencil, mark the glass and lift-
gate in several locations to aid installation.
(4) Remove replacement glass from liftgate open-
ing.
(5) Position the rear window inside up on a suit-
able work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by
10 cm by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks,
placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 4).
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLVENT BASED GLASS
CLEANER TO CLEAN REAR WINDOW BEFORE
APPLYING GLASS PREP AND PRIMER. POOR
ADHESION CAN RESULT.
(6) Clean inside of rear window with ammonia
based glass cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(7) Apply molding to top and bottom of rear win-
dow.
(8) Apply Glass Prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1
in.) wide around perimeter of rear window and wipe
with clean/dry lint-free cloth until no streaks are vis-
ible.
(9) Apply Glass Primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around
perimeter of rear window. Allow at least three min-
utes drying time.
(10) Apply Pinchweld Primer 15 mm (.75 in.) wide
around the rear window fence. Allow at least three
minutes drying time.
(11) If a low viscosity urethane adhesive is used,
install compression spacers on the fence around the
rear window opening (Fig. 8).
(12) Apply a 10 mm (0.4 in.) bead of urethane
along center line of rear window fence.

essary. Push glass inward until molding is flush to
liftgate surface (Fig. 8).
(15) Clean excess urethane from exterior with
MopartSuper Kleen, or equivalent.
(16) Apply 150 mm (6 in.) lengths of 50 mm (2 in.)
masking tape spaced 250 mm (10 in.) apart to hold
molding in place until urethane cures.
