Removal and Installation: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Nissan NV3500 HD, 2019 Nissan NV2500 HD, and 2019 Nissan NV1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
- Use a Genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or equivalent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
- Adhesive shall be continuously applied to assure watertightness. Glass installation shall be finished within five minutes after applying the adhesive.
- While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
- The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no gap.
- Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
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. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
- Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled. If affected by vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh air.
- Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance of the windshield in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
- After primer application, the primer must dry for at least three minutes before the windshield is installed. If the glass primer comes in contact with the windshield and is not properly dried, the molding will be bonded to the glass. In extreme temperatures, molding expands and contacts, causing a wearing away of glass layers or "spalling". This may result in windshield cracks over time.
- Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of this product is limited to six months after the date of manufacture. Carefully abide by the expiration or manufacture date printed on the box.
- Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
- Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.
- The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing time varies depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time will increase under lower temperatures and lower humidities.

Repairing Water Leaks for Windshield
- Leaks can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.
- If water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage.
- This can be done by applying water to the windshield area while pushing glass outward.
- To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
