- Prepare the caulking gun and urethane.
NOTE:
The urethane opening must be 8 mm wide and 13 mm tall.

To avoid future NVH issues, pinch the ends of the urethane together, and make sure there are no gaps in the urethane.

NOTE:
Make sure the locating posts are aligned with the holes on the body, and then install the rear quarter body glass onto the body by applying pressure from the rear locating post, and then work forward.
NOTE:
Start from the rear locating post will help with the fitment of the rear quarter brightwork to the body.
- Use tape to secure the LH rear quarter body glass to the body while the urethane cures.
- Position the LH upper C-Pillar trim on the vehicle, and then install the clips (x6) and tab (x1) that attach the trim to the vehicle.
