STATIONARY GLASS
covering the removal and replacement of adhesive
caulked glass including cutting out of material,
necessary service parts, application of material,
watertesting and waterleak repairing are described
in the ' 'Adhesive Caulking-General Information"
Section. Specific details applying to skylight window
glass removal and installation, will be covered in
this section.
REMOVAL
1. Remove
glass
as
outlined
in
"Adhesive
Caulking-General Information" Section. If the
original glass is to be reused, place it on a
protected bench or holding fixture and remove
old caulking material from glass with sharp
scraper or razor blade. Remove all remaining
traces with toluene or thinner dampened cloth.
NOTE:
Do not use an oil base solvent. Any
traces of oil will prevent adhesion of new
caulking material to glass.
2. Using a sharp scraper or chisel, remove major
portion of old caulking material from pinch-
weld flange around glass opening. It is not
necessary that all material be removed, but
there should not be any loose pieces left in the
opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Check all reveal molding retaining clips. If
upper end of clip is bent away from body metal
more than 1/16 of an inch, either reform or
replace clip. Check all clip screws and tighten
as required. Place protective covering over
interior trim below window opening.
2. Using black
weatherstrip adhesive, cement
flat rubber spacers #4459429 or equivalent
(.20 x .63 x 1.0) to window opening pinchweld
flanges at "X" locations as shown in Circle
"A" in Figure 4-15.
NOTE:
Use sufficient adhesive to obtain a
watertight seal beneath spacer, however, do not
allow excessive squeeze-out. Weatherstrip ad-
hesive is not compatible with the replacement
adhesive material and water leaks may develop
at locations where these two materials are used
together to form a seal.
