International, ADP Claims Solutions Group Issue:
1. The quarter glass and lift gate may be a non-reusable
component.
Note: It has been mentioned that any glass part number that ends
with GTY, the Y means it is a "bonded" part, meaning the
capsulated molding around the glass comes manufactured as one whole
unit. It is almost impossible to remove this part once it has been
urethaned on.
What has also not been documented is the function of the bonded
"black-plastic" glass alignment pins during the moment of
impact. What safety role these pins play is still an unanswered
question.
Suggestion:
To all providers:
1. Note that this may be a non-reusable component.

Please refer all users to the SPECIAL
NOTATION on page g27 in the MOTOR GTE pages regarding
stationary glass replacement which states: "Glass,
moldings,
mounting studs, or mounting flange may be damaged or broken
during normal
service procedures on some applications. MOTOR advises that
these factors be
considered before performing glass operations in the event
unavoidable damage
occurs. Time for the removal of old adhesive, clean and
preparation of sealing
surfaces (vehicle and or glass) should be estimated after an
on the spot evaluation. "These pages are also available
on the MOTOR web site. The R&I/R&R time for the glass
is published in the MOTOR CRASH GUIDE TO ESTIMATING and
is also available in the CCC Pathways estimating system.
