Description of Procedure: Install a rain guard over the left-hand power window on a TICO 2017 series cab

Units Affected: Any TICO 2017 series cab with the selected option of the rain guard over the left-hand power window

Reason: To reduce the amount of water entering the cab through the open left-hand power window

Parts Required: Left-Hand Power Window Rain Guard 123144 (QTY 1)

Planned Labor: 15 minutes

Precautions:

  • DO NOT….Let the adhesive surface of the tape be exposed for long periods of time.

  • DO NOT….Touch or contaminate the exposed adhesive surface of the tape.

Instructions:

  1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, apply the parking brake, and chock wheels. If your company utilizes a “Lock Out, Tag Out” policy, you should employ it during this procedure.

  2. Apply the rain guard to a clean, dry cab. (Dry the TICO cab with a clean, lint-free cloth. It is important that the TICO cab does not have any condensation on it.) See Detail #1.

    • If necessary, warm only the area of the Rain Guard application with a heat gun to obtain the recommended surface application temperature between 60°F to 110°F. Do not apply in temperatures below 60°F.

  1. Remove the red covering protecting the adhesive surface. Keep all contaminants (fingers, gloves, cloths, etc.) off the adhesive surface of the tape while applying it.

  1. Position the top flange of the rain guard 1-1/8” above the upper flange of the LH Power Window. See Detail #2.

  1. Center the rain guard over the LH power window frame and firmly press the rain guard to the cab. See Detail #3.

  2. With firm pressure, or with the use of a roller, apply pressure from one end to the other end.

  3. Double-check the edges to verify good tape adhesion, and re-apply pressure if necessary to get a good bond.

  1. Remove the “Lock Out, Tag Out” plaque.

  1. Return the vehicle to service.
