painted due to collision work, etc., apply paint
finish primer to painted pinchweld flange. Paint
finish primer is available as a service part.
8. Cut off tip of one nozzle along score line (Fig.
4-9). 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. 4-9). This nozzle
will be used to apply "smear bead" of adhesive
caulking material to pinchweld flange.
9. Wipe surface of glass to which bead of adhesive
caulking material will be applied (between
masking tape and edge of glass) with a clean,
water-dampened cloth. Dry glass with a clean
dry cloth.
10. Remove cap and protective end cover from
one tube of adhesive caulking material and
insert "glass bead" nozzle.
11. Positioning the gun and nozzle as shown in
Figure 4-9 carefully apply a smooth con-
tinuous 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
dispensed, quickly insert second tube and con-
tinue 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.

in step #8). 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 caulking material
completely around pinchweld flange.
