Old Adhesive Removal
1. Using a sharp knife, cut the old adhesive from the body pinch weld as close to the body flange as possible without causing paint damage (Figure 7).
CAUTION:
If the paint is damaged, repair the damaged area with touch-up paint to prevent rust.
2. Completely remove all traces of the remaining adhesive using 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 8984 or equivalent.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
All adhesive must be removed from the body windshield opening flange. Failure to remove all adhesive and properly prime the surfaces may cause the windshield to come loose from the body.
