12. Set the front corner glass (A) to the front corner

trim (B) quickly. Be careful not to touch the
adhesive.

13. Hold the front corner glass (A) with a suction cup

over the opening while holding the front corner
trim (B) by the other hand, align the clips, and set it
down on the adhesive. Lightly push on the front
corner glass until its edges are fully seated on the
adhesive all the way around.

NOTE:

• Make sure that there is no clearance between the

sash and front lower sash.

• Do not open or close any of the doors for about

an hour until the adhesive is dry.

14. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty

knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the front corner glass, wipe with a soft
shop towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

15. After the adhesive has dried, spray water over the

front corner glass and check for leaks. Mark the
leaking area, let the front corner glass dry, then
seal with sealant. Let the vehicle stand for at least
4 hours after front corner glass installation. If the
vehicle has to be used within the first 4 hours, it
must be driven slowly.

16. Reinstall all remaining removed parts.

NOTE: Advise the customer not to do the following
things for 2 to 3 days:

• Slam the doors with all the windows rolled up.
• Twist the body excessively (such as when going

in and out of driveways at an angle or driving
over rough, uneven roads).

NOTE:

• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive

with a piano wire.

• Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces.
• Do not damage the rear window defogger grid lines,

window antenna grid lines, and terminals.

1. Remove these items:

• Trunk lid
• C-pillar trim (see page 20-75)
• Rear shelf (see page 20-78)

2. Disconnect the window antenna connectors (A) and

rear window defogger connectors (B).

3. If the old rear window will be reinstalled, make

alignment marks across the glass and the body
with a grease pencil.

4. Pull down the rear portion of the headliner (A) by

detaching the clips. Take care not to bend the
headliner excessively, or you may crease or break
it.

5. Apply protective tape along the inside and outside

edges of the body. Make a hole with an awl through
the adhesive from inside the vehicle at a corner of
the rear window. Push a piece of piano wire
through the hole, and wrap each end around a
piece of wood.

6. Remove the lower rubber dam (A) from the lower

edge of the rear window (B). If necessary, cut the
rubber dam with a utility knife.

7. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A)

back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano
wire as close to the rear window (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the body, and carefully cut
through adhesive (C) around the entire rear
window.

8. Carefully remove the rear window.

9. Scrape smooth the old adhesive, using a putty

knife or similar tool, until there is a thickness of
about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface
around the entire rear window opening flange:

• Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the

body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding.

• Remove the fasteners from the body.

10. Clean the body bonding surface with a shop towel

dampened in isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning,
keep oil, grease, and water from getting on the
surface.

11. If the old rear window will be reinstalled, scrape off

the old adhesive, the fasteners, and the rubber dam
from the rear window with a putty knife. Clean the
bonding surfaces on the inside face and the edge of
the rear window with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure
the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and
grease.
