INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Open a window before installing glass.
This will avoid pressurizing the passenger compart-
ment. If a door or liftgate is slammed before ure-
thane is cured, water leaks can result.

ing flanges. Leave a 3 mm (0.1 in.) level base of ure-
thane on the flanges.

onto glass.
(3) Place replacement glass into liftgate opening
and position glass in the center of the opening
against flange.
(4) Verify the glass lays evenly against the fence at
the sides, top and bottom. If not, the flange must be
formed to the shape of the new glass.

erences marks on the glass and body.

ing.
