1. Tilt lid up and down.
2. Check height difference between roof panel and lid to see if
it is as ªA-Aº as shown in the figure above.
3. If necessary, adjust it by using one of following procedures:

REMOVAL
After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or
power cutting tool and inflatable pump bag.
WARNING:
lBe careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
lDo not set or stand the glass on its edges. Small chips
may develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
lUse a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit or equivalent
and follow the instructions furnished with it.
lWhile the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window.
This will prevent the glass from being forced out by passen-
ger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
lThe molding must be installed securely so that it is in posi-
tion and leaves no gap.
lInform the customer that the vehicle should remain station-
ary until urethane adhesive has completed cured (preferably
24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
lKeep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive
are flameable.
lThe materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed,
and may irritate skin and eyes.
lUse in an open , well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the
vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. If affected by vapor
inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh air.
lDriving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has com-
pletely cured may affect the performance of the windshield in
case of an accident.
CAUTION
lDo not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf
life of this product is limited to six months after the date of
manufacture. Carefully adhere to expiration or manufacture
date printed on the box.
lKeep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they
should be stored in a refrigerator.
lDo not leave primers and adhesive cartridge unattended with
their caps open or off.
lThe vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until
the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing times
varies depending on temperature and humidities. The curing
time will increase under higher temperatures lower humidi-
ties.

REPAIRING WATER LEAKS FOR WINDSHIELD
Leaks can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.
If water is leaking between caulking material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage. This
can be determined by applying water while pushing glass outward.
To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then sealant to the leak point.
