Wipe the glass primed area immediately with a clean lint-free cloth.
Shake the glass primer, black #2, for at least 1 minute.

Reinstall the window reveal molding.
1. Start from the loose area and hand-press the reveal molding into place over the edge of the window.
2. Run warm water over the reveal molding in order to speed the setup time of the urethane adhesive.
3. Tape should be applied in order to retain the reveal molding to the window. This will maintain a flush fit with the body.
4. The tape is to be removed after 6 hours.
