4. Bond a new dam along the circumference of the glass 7mm
(0.28 in) from the edge.
Caution
• Bond the dam securely and allow it to dry.
5. Install the spacers onto the body as shown.
Caution
• Damaged spacers must be replaced.
6. Prepare the nozzle of the sealant tube so that it has a flange
that can run along the edge of the glass and a V from which
the sealant can flow. Once the primer is dry, apply repair
seal (8001 77 739) around the entire circumference to fill
the gap between the dam and the edge of the glass with
a ridge of sealant 11
mm
(0.43 in) high.
Keep the bead of sealant smooth and even, reshaping it
where necessary with a spatula.
7. If the protector is damaged, bond a new protector onto the
body, as shown.
Caution
• Bond the protector securely and allow it to dry.
8. Install the glass, aligning the glass mark with the V notch
in the spacer. Push it in lightly toward the vehicle to com-
press the sealant.
Caution
• Lower the convertible top to prevent the glass from
being pushed out by air pressure if a door is closed.
