Removal and Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
  • The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Do not let them contact the skin or eyes.
  • Use in an open, well ventilated location. Do not breathe the vapors. They may be harmful if inhaled. Move immediately to an area with fresh air if affected by vapor inhalation.
CAUTION: After installing the moonroof unit assembly and glass lid, perform the leak test and check that there is no air or water intrusion.
NOTE:
  • Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or an equivalent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
  • Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (approximately 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
  1. Using a suitable tool, trim the adhesive (sealant) remaining on body down to approximately 2 mm thick (a) so that the contour becomes smooth.
