REMOVALNBBT0019S01After 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:
IBe careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
IDo not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may
develop into cracks.
INSTALLATIONNBBT0019S02IUse a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit or equivalent
and follow the instructions furnished with it.
IWhile 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.
IThe molding must be installed securely so that it is in
position and leaves no gap.
IInform 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:
IKeep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive
are flammable.
IThe materials contained in the kit are harmful if
swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes.
IUse 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.
IDriving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has com-
pletely cured may affect the performance of the wind-
shield in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
IDo 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.
IKeep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally,
they should be stored in a refrigerator.
IDo not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended
with their caps open or off.
IThe 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.

Repairing Water Leaks for WindshieldNBBT0019S0301Leaks can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.
If water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and
body or glass, determine the extent of leakage. This can be
done by applying water to the windshield area while pushing
glass outward.
To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane
adhesive to the leak point.
