IINSTALLATION

Installation is in reverse order of removal

• Use a Genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or an equivalent and follow the instructions provided with it.
• The start and finish of the adhesive application shall be located at the middle of the glass bottom to assure watertightness.
• Open a door window while the urethane adhesive is curing. This prevents the glass from being forced out by passenger compartment air pressure when all door windows are closed.
• The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no clearance.
• Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive is completely cured (approximately 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.

WARNING:

• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
• The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
• Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They may be harmful if inhaled. Move immediately to an area with fresh air if affected by vapor inhalation.
• Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive is completely cured may affect the performance of the rear window glass in an accident.

CAUTION:

• Do not use an adhesive that is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after the date of manufacture. Pay attention to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.
• Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
• Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.
• The vehicle should not be driven for 24 hours or more or until the urethane adhesive is completely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time increases under lower temperature and lower humidity.

Inspection

REPAIRING WATER LEAKAGE FOR REAR WINDOW GLASS

Leakage can be repaired without removing the glass.

Determine the extent of leakage if water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass.

This can be done by applying water to the rear window glass area while pushing glass outward.

Apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leakage point to stop the leakage.
