The windshield, delta window glass, quarter window
glass and tailgate window glass are attached by an
urethane-base adhesive to the window frame. This
adhesive provides improved glass holding and
sealing, and also gives body openings a greater
structural strength.

HANDLING OF AUTO WINDOW SEALER

Keep the sealant in a cool place, not exposed to the
direct rays of the sun. Do not place any heavy article
on the sealant nor press it, otherwise it will become
deformed. Avoid storing the sealant for more than 6
months, because it will lose its sealing effect.

BODY PINCH-WELD FLANGE SERVICING

Before servicing the body pinch-weld flange, remove
old adhesive completely. If the flange requires
painting, bake it after painting is completed.
