SIDE WINDOW GLASS
2. After removing moldings, remove the glass using piano wire or power cutting tool (A) and an inflatablepump (B).
• If the side window glass is to be reused, mark the body and the glass with mating marks. WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, al ways 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.
• When the windshield glass is to be reused, do not use a cutting knife or power cutting tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• If repainting near the rear window glass flange area, protect the flange adhesion area by masking the flange.
• Use a Genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if availabl e) or equivalent and follow the instructions fur-
nished with it.
• Adhesive shall be continuously applied to assure watert ightness. Glass installation shall be finished within
five minutes after applying the adhesive.
• The start and finish of the urethane adhesive application should be located at the bottom to assure water-
tightness.
• While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window . This will prevent the glass from being forced out
by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
• Inform the customer that the vehicle should rema in stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely
cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
• 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 br eathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled.
If affected by vapor inhalation, imme diately move to an area with fresh air.
• Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance
of the side window gl ass in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
• Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable te rm. Shelf life of this product is limited to six
months after the date of manufacture. Carefully a dhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed
on the box or product.
• Keep primers and adhesive in a c ool, 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 depe nding on temperature and humidity . The curing time will increase
under lower temperature and lower humidity.
REPAIRING WATER LEAKS FOR SIDE WINDOW GLASS
• Leaks 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 leak-
age.
• This can be done by applying water to the side window area while pushing glass outward.
• To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
