NOTICE: New fixed glass must be installed within 2 hours of cutting the urethane adhesive. Cut or scraped urethane becomes oxidized and inactive beyond 2 hours, reducing the effectiveness of the repair bond.
NOTICE: To avoid rust formation, use extreme care not to scratch the paint or primer or damage the pinch weld during glass removal.
NOTICE: Take precautions to prevent damage to other components when cutting urethane.
NOTE: Fixed glass must be discarded once removed. A new fixed glass is required.
NOTE: Fixed glass may have locating pins that vary in location. It may be necessary to cut these pins with a utility knife.
Remove the fixed glass and discard. Use the General Equipment: Power Fixed Glass Removal Tool Use the General Equipment: Cold Knife Use the General Equipment: Knife

WARNING: Repair any corrosion found on the pinch weld. The pinch weld is a structural component of the vehicle. Corrosion left unrepaired may reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld. Repair all minor scratches or exposed metal on the pinch weld following manufacturer's instructions for the product being used. Use the same brand pinch weld primer, glass primer and urethane adhesive.
NOTE: Touching the adhesive surface impairs the rebonding.
NOTE: Make sure the mating surfaces are clean and free of foreign material.
Prep the pinch weld area to install the new fixed glass.
1. Trim the original urethane adhesive using a utility knife, leaving a 1 mm to 2 mm (0.04 in to 0.08 in) base on the pinch weld.
2. Remove any foreign material or dirt from the pinch weld using a soft brush or vacuum. Use the General Equipment: Vacuum Cleaner
5. NOTE: Minimize applying bare metal primer over areas with remaining urethane adhesive and observe a minimum flash time of 30 minutes.
If the paint layer was damaged on the pinch weld extending into bare metal, apply bare metal primer to those areas only. Material : Bare Metal Etch Primer / BETAPRIME 5201
6. NOTE: Minimize applying body primer over areas with remaining urethane adhesive and observe a minimum flash time of 30 minutes.
Apply body primer as necessary.
1. Apply body primer to those areas only previously primed with bare metal primer. Material : Bare Metal Etch Primer / BETAPRIME 5201
