4. Bond a new dam along the circumference of the glass Smm
(0.31 in) from the edge.
Caution
• Bond the dam securely and allow it to dry.
5. 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 the seal-
ant 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.
6. If protector is damaged bond a new protector onto the
detachable hard top, as shown.
Caution
• Bond the protector securely and allow it to dry.
7. Align the studs of the glass with the detachable hard top
and mount the glass.
8. Push the glass lightly toward the front to compress the
sealant.
