Installation:

Make sure that P U R glue is at room temperature (20~C = 68~F).

Temperatures below 20~C will cause glue to thicken and be more difficult to apply.

Check paintwork

Use primer plus touch-up paint to repair any flaws.

After any body repairs

If any part of the rear window aperture has been repaired or replaced, mask the body flange after undercoat has been applied. Remove masking tape when paintwork has been completed. (Masking is necessary because P U R glue will not adhere to top coat.)

If aperture flange has been given a coat of top coat, apply primer.


Important

Clean rear window aperture with cleaning fluid (supplied with adhesive kit)

Pry up glass supports so that they touch glass


Depress glass with hands until specified position is reached

Measure sides and top edge. Outer edge of glass should be 7-9 mm from aperture flange.

Moisture speeds up the hardening process of the glue. Placing damp cloths around the outside of the glass will reduce drying time to approximately 3 hours.
