opening, align it with the alignment marks you
made in step 13, and set it down on the adhesive.
Lightly
push on the rear window until its edges are
fully seated on the adhesive all the way around. Do
not open or close the doors until the adhesive is dry.
20. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a puny
knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the rear window, use a soft shop towel
dampened with alcohol.

water over the rear window and check for leaks.
Mark the leaking areas, let the rear window dry,
then seal with sealant. Let the vehicle stand for at
least 4 hours after rear window installation. If the
vehicle has to be used within the first 4 hours,
it
must be driven slowly.

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

• Twist the body excessively (such as when going
in and out of driveways at an angle or driving
