4. Pull up the front portion of the molding.





5. At the rear of the molding, pull up and release the rear bracket from the pin.

6. Inspect the rear bracket.

If the bracket comes off the roof molding or the molding is damaged, the molding must be replaced. Do steps 7 thru 9 using a new molding. If the bracket is OK, go to step 7 to reinstall the molding.





7. Clean the front and rear pins on the body, and the front and rear portion of the roof molding using a shop towel dampened in water.

NOTE:
Do not use any chemical cleaner as it may damage the paint.

9. Reinstall the roof molding immediately after applying the Konishi Bond.

NOTE:
The Konishi Bond adhesive can skin within seconds of exposure to air. Apply the roof molding immediately after applying the adhesive to ensure proper adhesion.
