STATIONARY GLASS

Fig. 4-16—Glass Suction Cup Usage
3. Using black weatherstrip adhesive, cement
rectangular spacers #4871330 or equivalent
(.34 x .44 x 1.0) to window opening rabbet at
"Y" locations shown in Section "B-B" in
Figure 4-15.
4. If the front skylight is being installed, attach
glass handling suction cups to outer surface of
glass and position glass in body opening (See
Figure 4-16.
If side skylight is being installed, carry glass
to body with aid of a helper as shown in Figure
4-17.
Supporting glass with one hand, extend other
arm into body and back through window opening
as shown in Figure 4-18 and lower glass into
position.
5. Check relationship of glass to pinchweld flange
around entire perimeter. Overlap of pinchweld
flange should be equal with a minimum overlap
of 3/16". Overlap across top may be varied
by changing lower glass support spacers. Both
thinner (#4404196 or equivalent) and thicker
(#4534314 or equivalent) rectangular spacers
are available as service parts.
6. Check relationship of glass contour to body
opening. Gap space between glass and pinch-
weld flange should be no less than 1/8" nor
more than 1/4". If difficulty is encountered
staying between these limits, correction can
be made by any one of the following methods:
a. Reposition flat spacers.
b. Apply more caulking material than is speci-
fied at excessive gap areas. Material can
be applied to pinchweld flange or by allow-
ing bead on glass to exceed 3/8" height
at gap areas.

c. Change glasses - another glass may fit
opening better.
d. Rework pinchweld flange.
7. After final adjustments have been made and
glass is in proper position, apply pieces of
masking tape over edges of glass and body
(see View "A" in Fig. 4-16 or 4-18 depending
on window being installed). Tape on glass can
be aligned with tape on body to guide glass
into opening during installation.
8. Apply one inch masking tape completely around
inner surface of glass 1/4" inboard from
outer edge (see Fig. 4-19). Removal of tape
after glass installation will aid in clean-up
and give a smooth even edge to adhesive
material.
9. Using a clean lint-free cloth liberally damp-
ened with Adhesive Caulking Primer or equiva-
lent (supplied in kit #4226000), briskly rub
primer over original adhesive material re-
maining on pinchweld flange. Perform the
following steps while allowing primer to dry
for 5 to 10 minutes.
