INSTALLATION

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. Do not let

them contact the skin or eyes.

Move immediately to an area with fresh air if affected by vapor inhalation.

CAUTION:

After installing the sunroof unit assembly and glass lid, perform the leak test and check that there is

no air or water intrusion.

NOTE:

• Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or an equivalent and follow the instructions fur-
