adhesive kit 9631000 or Essex S C D 435.20 or
equivalent around the entire perimeter of the glass
edge. Allow to dry to touch (approxim ately
minutes). Refer to Fig. 2D-102.
5. With the aid of a helper, lift the glass into the opening.
Carry the glass with one hand on the inside of glass, and
one hand on the outside. At the windshield opening, set
the glass in a horizontal position. While one partner
holds the glass in this position, the other can reach one
arm around the pillar and support the glass from the
inside, while the first person assumes the same position.
With the glass centered in the opening, place the glass
against the inside support molding, use small rubber
blocks to support the glass in the correct position. Use
the last screw on either side of the cowl grille cover as a
guide for the positioning of these blocks in the
windshield opening. Be sure to center the glass so that
gaps on opposite sides and top-to-bottom are equalized.
Trim rubber blocks as necessary. If the short method is
used, check reveal molding fit and cut away additional
solidified urethane base as necessary. See Fig. 2D-104.
6. Cut the tip of the adhesive cartridge to make asmall
opening of approximately 3/16 inch. First, fill in behind
and around spacer blocks with urethane.
7. Then apply a smooth, continuous bead of urethane.
Direct the flow of urethane down into gap as shown in
Fig. 2D-105. The material should fill the gap between
the glass edge and the sheet metal. If necessary, use a
flat-bladed instrument to paddle material into position.
Be sure that adhesive contacts the entire edge of the
glass, and extends to fill the gap between the glass and
primed sheet metal or solidified urethane base from the
original installation.
8. Spray a mist of water onto the urethane. This adhesive
is moisture curing. W a te r will assist in the
