Quarter Glass

Removal

CAUTION:
•   Wear gloves to remove and install the glass.
•   Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces.
1. To remove the quarter glass, first remove the:
•   Rear seat (page 20-63)
   . Rear pillar trim panel (page 20-58)
•   Quarter trim panel (page 20-58)
2. Use a knife to cut through the glass adhesive from inside the car, all the way around.

Installation

1. Scrape the old adhesive smooth with a knife, to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in) on the bonding surface around the entire window glass flange.
NOTE:
•   Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body: damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
•   Remove all traces of the rubber spacer material from the body.
•   Mask off surrounding surfaces before applying primer.

2. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol.

NOTE: After cleaning, keep oil, grease or water from getting on the surface.

3. If the old glass is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive, then clean the glass surface with alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied.

NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil and grease.
