The windshield, quarter window glass, tailgate window glass and roof window glass are attached by an urethane-base adhesive to the window frame. This adhesive provides improved glass holding and sealing, and also gives body openings a greater structural strength.

HANDLING OF AUTO WINDOW SEALER
Keep the sealant in a cool place, not exposed to the direct rays of the sun. Do not place any heavy article on the sealant nor press it, otherwise it will become deformed. Avoid storing the sealant for more than 6 months, because it will lose its sealing effect.
BODY PINCH-WELD FLANGE SERVICING
Before servicing the body pinch-weld flange, remove old adhesive completely. If the flange requires painting, bake it after painting is completed.
