Probable Cause
Corrective Action
[A] Apply primer E to body side.
[B] Apply sealant evenly to glass / dam — bead height ≥ 12 mm (0.47 in), base width ≥ 7 mm (0.28 in).
Set glass in position and press glass lightly and evenly.
Set glass in position and press glass lightly and evenly.
Check for water leakage.

CAUTION
Allow primers to dry for 10 to 15 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
Windshield glass should be installed within 15 minutes of applying sealant: sealant starts to harden 15 minutes after it is applied.
For sealant drying time, refer to "Drying Time for Sealant".
Molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no gap.
