    IMPORTANT:
    • The adhesion promoter must be used to assure bonding of the coupling.
    • Mask 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 coupling. Follow the Glass Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label.
