REMOVAL
After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or
power cutting tool and an inflatable 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:
lBe careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
lDo not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips
may develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
lUse a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit or equiva-
lent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
lWhile 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.
lThe molding must be installed securely so that it is in
position and leaves no gap.
lInform the customer that the vehicle should remain sta-
tionary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured
(preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with tempera-
ture and humidity.
WARNING:
lKeep heat and open flames away as primers and adhe-
sive are flammable.
lThe materials contained in the kit are harmful if
swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes.
lUse 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.
lDriving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has
completely cured may affect the performance of the
windshield in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
lDo 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.
lKeep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally,
they should be stored in a refrigerator.
lDo not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended
with their caps open or off.
lThe vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or
until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Cur-
ing time varies depending on temperature and humidi-
ties. The curing time will increase under higher tempera-
tures and lower humidities.
