CAUTION:
  • To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door is closed, open all of the windows and leave them open until the sealant has hardened.
  1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1-2 mm {0.04-0.07 in}  thickness of sealant remains along the perimeter of the frame.
    WARNING:
    • Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
  2. If the sealant has come off completely in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it approx. 30 min  to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm {0.08 In}  layer.
  3. Clean and degrease an approx. 50.0 mm {1.97 in}  wide strip along the perimeter of the glass and the bonding area on the body.

  6. Use only glass primer on the glass. Allow it to dry for approx. 30 min  .
    CAUTION:
    • Keep the area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the surface. Otherwise, the primer may not properly bond to the surface of the glass and body, which may cause leaks to occur.
