WARNING:

When cutting the quarter window glass from the vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.

CAUTION:

• Apply protective tape around the quarter window glass to protect the painted surface.

• Be careful not to scratch the quarter window glass when removing.

• Do not set or stand the quarter window glass on its edge. Small chips may develop into cracks.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• Install the quarter window glass from outside the vehicle to ensure that it is even around the top, bottom and sides of the opening.

• Use a Genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or equivalent and follow the instructions furnished with it.

• While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.

• Check gap along bottom to confirm that glass does not contact sheet metal.

• Inform the customer that the Nissan Murano vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.

WARNING:

• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.

• The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.

• Use 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.

• Driving the Nissan Murano vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance of the glass in case of an accident.

CAUTION:

• Do 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 the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.

• Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.

• Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.

• The Nissan Murano vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time will increase under lower temperatures and lower humidity.

REPAIRING WATER LEAKS FOR QUARTER WINDOW GLASS

• Leaks can be repaired without removing or reinstalling glass.

• If water is leaking between urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage.

• This can be done by applying water to the quarter window glass area while pushing glass outward.

• To stop leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
