How We Handle the Crossblade Rear Glass Installation
I always tell my customers that a solid install comes down to prep work, patience, and using the right materials. Here is exactly how we swap out the back glass on your Crossblade:
- Interior Protection: First things first, we cover the exposed cabin. We lay down heavy-duty protective blankets over the seats and rear deck to catch any stray glass shards, dust, or debris before we even pick up a tool.
- Careful Removal: Using a specialized cut-out wire system, we carefully slice through the old urethane bead. We take our time here to ensure we don't scratch the Crossblade's Tridion safety cell or the surrounding body panels.
- Surface Cleaning: Once the old glass is out of the way, I strip the remaining factory adhesive down to a thin, flat layer. We then clean the pinch weld thoroughly to remove years of hidden dirt and grease.
- Primer Application: Any bare metal scratches on the frame get a quick coat of anti-rust primer. We also apply a specialized glass prep primer to the edge of the new rear panel. This chemical step guarantees the urethane will actually bite and hold.
- High-Quality Adhesive Installation: Finally, we run a thick, consistent V-bead of premium, fast-curing urethane adhesive. We set the new back glass exactly into place, pressing it in to ensure the gaps are perfectly aligned with the factory specifications.
