- Clean the rear window with an alcohol wipe.
- Dry the glass thoroughly using a lint-free cloth.
Important:
- Use the adhesion promoter to assure adequate bonding of the coupling.
- Mask off or protect areas before applying the adhesion promoter.
- Apply Glass Adhesion Promoter P/N 12378555 (88901239 in Canada) to the rear window in the area where you will install the antenna coupling. Follow the Glass Adhesion Promoter instructions on the product label.
Important:
- Align the inner and the outer antenna couplings.
- Do not touch the adhesive backing on the antenna coupling.
- Remove the protective film from the adhesive backing on the outer antenna coupling.
- Align the outer antenna coupling to the inner antenna coupling.
- Press firmly on all 4 corners and on the center of the antenna outer coupling (5) in order to ensure proper adhesion to the rear window (4). Hold pressure on the outer coupling (5) for 10-30 seconds.
- Ensure that no gaps occur between the couplings (5,2) and the rear window (4).
- Keep the vehicle dry. Allow 6 to 8 hours, at 15°C (60°F), for the adhesive to cure after installation.
