Thank you for sharing this DIY video. It helped me see someone doing the project. I have a suggestion . Next time, apply only 1 cote of the adhesive to the car body after you scrape or remove the old one. Make sure you clean the area for proper bonding, and you need a primer for the glass. Use same branding on your case 3M; this will be applied to the glass after remov of old glue. And to the car body if there is any metal exposed after scraping. Let it cure and apply adhesives, attach panel, make it even, press gently around all areas, put a bunch of painters tape to prevent glass from sliding down. If you live in cold weather, leave it dry for up to 3 days . If you live in a hot place, one day, it's all you need. Now finally, some windex and you got a new side panel !
Should cut a bigger piece and then cut a V shape on one side. Place the tip flat, V shape will should be opposite direction of the direction your running the glue. You can either do it on the glass or the vehicle just once.
@@drgruvloch wherever you see the glue as your guide. Also the reason for a "V" bead, for a better and accurate seal, you don't need to apply to both glass and body of the vehicle. Also depending on the glue you are using. You might have to use primer and especially if you scratch the vehicle before it will rust. I can almost bet the job on the video could possibly leak. Definitely too much and uneven amount of glue. Sorry but that was not the proper way to do that.
@@Miguel_A_SI’ve done about 10 glass replacement throughout the years on vehicles I still own or know the people the have the vehicles now. None of them have leaked and never did the V cut. A friend in another state wanted a quick tutorial on replacing his side glass and I found this one for him. Sure there is no need to put the urethane on the glass but since he did, there is no way he has gaps. The glass is sitting flush and proper so not being held out by too much sealant. This will never leak. That headliner is going to boned to this install but most likely it will never need to be removed. Good job OP.
Next time go buy a scraper that uses the box blades..it will make your life way easier when scrapping down urathane..also make sure your glue doesn't need activator. Because if you it does and you don't use it. That glue will not hold long.
