Caution
•
To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door
is closed, open all of the windows and leave them open until the sealant has hardened.
1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1—2 mm {0.04—0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains around
the circumference of the frame.
Warning
•
Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
2. If the sealant has come off completely in any one
place, apply some primer after degreasing, and
allow it
approximately 30 minutes to dry. Then
put on new sealant to create a 2 mm {0.08 in}
layer.
3. Clean and degrease an approximately 50.0 mm
{1.97 in} wide strip around the circumference of
the glass and the bonding area on the body.
