1. When replacing the rear window glass, temporarily set the rear window glass against the body, and place a mating mark on the rear window glass and body.

CAUTION: Leave the degreased parts for 3 or more minutes to dry well, before starting on the next step. Do not touch the degreased parts.

2. Use 3M (TM) AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to degrease the inside and outside of the rear window glass and the body flanges.

CAUTION:
- The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be sure to apply it evenly around the entire circumference. How-ever, a too thick application will weaken the adhesive.
- Do not touch the coated surface.

3. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the rear window glass and the body in the specified places.
4. Allow the rear window glass to dry for at least three minutes after applying primer.
5. Install the glass stopper and window dam to the specified positions so that there are no adrift or bent surfaces inside the rear window glass.
6. Install the rear window upper molding.
