21. Hold the rear window with suction cups over the
opening, align it with the alignment marks you
made in step 15, 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.
NOTE: Do not open or close any of the doors for
about an hour until the adhesive is dry.
22. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the rear window, use a soft shop towel
dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
23. After the adhesive has dried, spray water over the rear window and check for leaks. Mark the leaking
area, 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.
24. Reinstall all remaining removed parts. NOTE: Advise the customer not to do the following
things for 2 to 3 days: Slam the doors with all the windows rolled up.
 Twist the body excessively (such as when going in and out of driveways at an angle or driving
