•	Mask off surrounding surfaces before painting.

•	Remove the fasteners from the body.

2.	Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep oil, grease and water away from the surface.

With a sponge, apply a light coat of glass primer along the edge of the quarter fixed glass as shown, then lightly wipe it off with gauze or cheese cloth :

•	Do not apply body primer to the quarter fixed glass and be careful not to mix up body and glass primer sponges.

•	Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands as this may result in the adhesive not bonding to the quarter fixed glass properly causing a leak after it has been installed.

•	Keep water, dust and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.

With a sponge, apply a light coat of body primer to the original adhesive remaining around the flange. Let the body primer dry for at least 10 minutes.

•	Do not apply glass primer to the body, and be careful not to mix up glass and body primer sponges.

•	Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands.

Pack adhesive into the cartridge without air pockets to ensure continuous delivery.

Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
