REAR WINDOW GLASS INSTALLATION
1. Remove the sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a razor or scraper, (when reusing the glass)
2. Clean and degrease an
approx. 50 mm {1.97 in}
wide strip along the perimeter of the glass.
3. Inspect the glass for cracks. If it is cracked, chamfer it using sandpaper.
4. Install the spacers and pin to the glass as shown in the figure. When reusing the glass, align with the
alignment mark marked before removing.

WARNING:
z
Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves
when using a razor.
CAUTION:
z
If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is closed, the
resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack
preventing the proper installation of the glass. Keep the door glass
open until the rear window glass installation is completed.
z
Leave the power liftgate (PLG) unoperated for two days after the rear
window glass installation. If the power liftgate (PLG) is operated
automatically with the sealant not hardened after the rear window
glass installation, the liftgate may deform. It is recommended that
you refrain from operating the power liftgate (PLG) for seven days
after the rear window glass installation. Manual opening/closing will
not cause liftgate deformation.
