  1. Clean the inside of the rear window with an alcohol wipe.
  2. Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint free cloth.
    IMPORTANT:
    • The adhesion promoter must be used to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
    • Mark off or protect areas before applying the adhesion promoter.
  3. Apply glass adhesion promoter GM P/N 12378555 (Canadian P/N 88901239) to the rear window in the area where you will install the antenna coupling. Follow the Glass Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label.
    IMPORTANT:
    • Align the inner and outer antenna couplings.
    • Do not touch the adhesive backing on the antenna coupling.
    • The RF connections for the inner antenna coupling should run parallel to the defogger gridline.
  4. Remove the protective film from the adhesive backing on the inner antenna coupling.
