16. Apply consistent, even pressure to the Rear Door Rear Sash Cover for at
least 1 minute (Figure 23).
• Using both hands, as shown in Figure 23, apply pressure by leaning at a
slight angle in relation to the vehicle

IMPORTANT: If you are repairing more than one Rear Door Rear Sash Cover,
clear the nozzle to prevent clogging immediately after completing Step 16 by
applying a small amount the adhesive to a scrap piece of cardboard and repeat
Steps 8 through 16 for the repair. If the nozzle does not clear, use a new nozzle
and repeat Steps 5 through 16.
• When the repair is complete, allow the glue to harden in the Static Mixing
Nozzle to stow the remaining 3M Adhesive for later use

17. Wait at least three (3) minutes and confirm that the double-sided tape has
adhered properly by gently trying to lift the edge of the Rear Door Rear Sash
Cover at the three (3) points shown in Figure 24.
• The leading edge of the Rear Door Rear Sash Cover should not lift
• If the leading edge does lift, repeat Step 16 and press hard along the three
(3) points shown in Figure 24

IMPORTANT: Once the repair is completed, do not wash the vehicle. It is
recommended that vehicle should avoid excess sun (heat) and water exposure as
much as reasonably possible for up to 24 hours as tape and adhesive cures.
