INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT



>>A<<HINGE/MOULDING INSTALLATION


1.
caution Leave the degreased parts for 3 or more minutes to dry well, before starting on the next step. Do not touch the degreased parts.
Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the inside and outside of the side window glass.
2.
caution
  • The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be sure to apply it evenly around the entire circumference. However, a too thick application will weaken the adhesive.
  • Do not touch the coated surface.
  • Do not apply the primer on the remaining adhesive because of weakening the adhesive.
Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the hinge, moulding and side window glass in the specified places. If the old adhesive does not remain on the side window glass because of the side window glass or others, also apply the primer to the specified side window glass side.
3.Allow the hinge, moulding and side window glass to dry for at least three minutes after applying primer.
4.Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the hinge and moulding within 30 minutes after applying the primer.
note Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V shape to simplify adhesive application.

5.Install the hinges to the specified position of the side window glass.
6.Install the moulding to the specified position of the side window glass.
7.Use spatula or the like to remove any excessive adhesive. Then clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol.
