  1. Set the rear window in the opening, and centre it. Make alignment marks (A) across the rear window and body with a grease pencil at the 4 points shown. Be careful not to touch the rear window where adhesive will be applied.

  1. Remove the rear window.

  1. With a sponge, apply a light coat of glass primer along the edge of the rear window (A) and moulding (B) as shown, then lightly wipe it off with gauze or cheesecloth:
  • Do not apply body primer to the rear window, and do not get body and glass primer sponges mixed up.
  • Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the rear window properly, causing a leak after the rear window is installed.
  • Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.
