REMOVAL
After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or power
cutting tool and an in¯atable pump bag.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety
glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass splinters from
entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
+Do not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may
develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
+Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit or equivalent
and follow the instructions furnished with it.
+While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door win-
dow. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by
passenger compartment air pressure when a door is
closed.
+The molding must be installed securely so that it is in
position and leaves no gap.
+Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain sta-
tionary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured
(preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature
and humidity.
WARNING:
+Keep heat and open ¯ames away as primers and adhesive
are ¯ammable.
+The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed,
and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes.
+Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing
the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. If affected by
vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh
air.
+Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has com-
pletely cured may affect the performance of the windshield
in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
+Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf
life of this product is limited to six months after the date
of manufacture. Carefully adhere to the expiration or
manufacture date printed on the box.
+Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally,
they should be stored in a refrigerator.
+Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended
with their caps open or off.
+The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or
until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing
time varies depending on temperature and humidities. The
curing time will increase under higher temperatures and
lower humidities.
