BACKLITE
REMOVAL
CAUTION: It is difficult to salvage the backlite dur-
ing the removal operation. The backlite is part of
the structural support for the roof. The urethane
bonding used to secure the glass to the fence is
difficult to cut or clean from any surface. Since the
molding is set in urethane, it is unlikely it would
be salvaged. Before removing the backlite, check
the availability from the parts supplier.
NOTE: The backlite is attached to the window
frame with urethane adhesive. The urethane adhe-
sive is applied cold and seals the surface area
between the window opening and the glass. The
primer adheres the urethane adhesive to the back-
lite.

labels and technical data sheets, and use only adhesives that their manufactures warranty and will
restore a vehicle to the requirements of fmvss 212. Technicians should also insure that primers and
cleaners are compatible with the particular adhesive used.
