3. If short method installation is required, the
nozzle furnished with the kit is pre-cut to
dispense the proper size bead of caulking
material (Fig. 4-2).
4. If extended method is required, cut off tip of
one nozzle along score line (Fig. 4-3). This
glass bead nozzle will be used to apply bead
of adhesive caulking material to glass. Cut
tip off other nozzle at 45° angle 1" below end
of nozzle (Fig. 4-3). This nozzle will be used
to apply "smear bead" of adhesive caulking
material to pinchweld flange.
5. Wipe surface of glass to which bead of ad-
hesive caulking material will be applied (be-
tween masking tape and edge of glass) with a
clean, water-dampened cloth. Dry glass with
a clean dry cloth.
6. Remove cap and protective end cover from
one tube of adhesive caulking material and
insert "glass bead" nozzle.
7. Positioning the gun and nozzle as shown in Fig-
ure 4-3, carefully apply a smooth continuous
bead of caulking material 3/8" high by 3/16"
wide at base completely around inside edge of
glass. When material in first tube is dis-
pensed, quickly insert second tube and continue
application of bead. After application, check
bead and fill all voids and air bubbles.
NOTE:
Material begins to cure after 15 min-
utes exposure to air, therefore, perform fol-
lowing steps immediately and install glass in
opening as soon as possible.
8. Remove
"glass bead" nozzle and insert
"smear bead" nozzle. Holding caulking gun
at an angle so that angle-cut of nozzle rests
flat on pinchweld flange, apply a thin (1/4" wide
x 1/16" high) "smear bead" of adhesive caulk-
ing material completely around pinchweld
flange.
9. Install glass in opening using tape marks as a
guide.
10. Watertest windshield immediately using cold
water spray. If any water leaks are encoun-
tered, use flat-bladed tool or stick and work
caulking material into leak point to correct
leak. This operation is usually performed
most effectively from outside the body.
CAUTION: Do not run a heavy stream of
water directly on caulking material while the
material is still soft.
11. Install previously removed hardware and trim
parts.
