STEP 8) INTERIOR GLASS SEALANT APPLICATION
Begin the interior glass sealant application by ensuring that the glass and
metal are cleaned and dry per the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
Apply sufficient Dow Corning 995 or equivalent structural silicone sealant
to the gap between the glass and metal to fill the void back to the interior
gasket on all sides of each DLO. Ensure that air pockets in the sealant
are not present as this would create a weak area in the glass and metal
adhesion. Tool the sealant flat against the metal for a clean cosmetic
appearance. It may be beneficial to use a form of masking tape on the
metal and/or glass to aid in the clean appearance of the seal and to
lessen the clean-up effort. See figures 72 and 73 below for 995 sealant
application.
