~OTE:
The
side windows should
be opened
and left
open
for at
least
one
half hour after
repair so
the
new glass is not forced
out of
position
if the doors are
slammed

12. Clean excess sealer from the
glass with a razor blade and wipe
off with a clean cloth dampened
with a
glass cleaner.
13. Visually
inspect
appearance
of sealer through the
glass.
Dull
spots
indicate areas where
sealer
is not contacting the glass sur-
face. Repair these areas
by apply-
ing additional
sealer.
14. Allow the sealer to cure be-
fore reinstalling any mouldings to
avoid cementing the mouldings to
the sealer, then reinstall the mould-
ings.
NOTE: Cure time
is
seven hours
in
temperatures
over
70•F.
The
temperature of the area where this
work is performed should be at
least ss•F to insure satisfactory
curing
of the
sealer.

glass is
re·
moved
which had previously been
installed
with
the
same
type of
sealer, it
is not necessary to remove
all of the sealer
from
the
body
glass opening.
The remaining film
of
sealer
on
the body flange can
be
used
