Caution: ".
NOTE
Remove all but approximately 2 mm (3/64 in)
of the existing bead of urethane adhesive
from the pinch-weld flange.
1. Remove all mounds or loose pieces of urethane
adhesive from the pinch-weld area.
2. If the original window is being reused, and the
window reveal molding is damaged or becomes
detached, replace the window.
Remove all but a thin film of the existing urethane
adhesive from the window surface by using a clean
utility knife or razor blade scraper.
3. Inspect the following components for the causes of a
broken window:
– The flange of the window opening
– The window reveal molding
4. Inspect for any of the following problems in order to
help prevent future breakage of the window:
– High weld
– Solder spots
– Hardened sealer
– Any other obstruction or irregularity in the pinch-
weld flange
NOTE
If corrosion of the pinch-weld flange is
present or if sheet metal repairs or
replacements are required, the pinch-weld
flange must be refinished in order to restore
the bonding area strength. If paint repairs are
required, mask the flange bonding area prior
to applying the color coat in order to provide
a clean primer only surface. Materials such

release buildup from the encapsulated window. Use
a dampened lint free cloth to remove any debris
remaining on the window.
7. Dry fit the window (1) to the opening in order to
determine the correct position.
8. Ensure that the window locator pins (2) are
positioned to the pinch-weld flange.
9. Use masking tape to mark the locations of the
window in the opening.
10. Cut the masking in the center and remove the
window from the opening.
