1.Remove remaining adhesive and sealant using a scraper on the body side to approximately a depth that is 2 mm (0.079 in) thickness (A) so that entire contour becomes smooth.
CAUTION: If the bonded area on the body is scratched, repair it using a 2 liquid type urethane paint. Never use lacquer type paint.
2.Follow the below depend on the case.
a.In case glass is reusable:
Remove remaining adhesive and sealant using a cutter knife (A) smooth out windshield glass surface .
b.In case glass is not reusable:
Skip this process.
3.Follow the below depend on the case.
a.In case glass is reusable:
Remove all windshield glass spacer.
b.In case glass is not reusable:
Mount the glass onto the vehicle and point matching marks on the body and glass when installing new glass. Then remove the glass again.
4.Use suction lifter (A) or rubber suction cups to set glass on glass stand (B).
5.Clean the bonded area on glass and body side using a white gasoline or degreasing agent.
6.Install new windshield insulator and new windshield spacers to windshield glass.
7.When installing glass , apply the dam sealant rubber from the edge of the glass so as to hide the black print.
CAUTION: Start to apply the dam sealant rubber at the outline mark of black print. Apply it so as to only place it without pulling. Stop applying at another outline mark of black print.
8.Apply primer for glass along the entire circumference of glass.
Use the sealing kit for glass application and the special holder for cartridge or similar tools.
CAUTION: There are 2 types of primer. Never confuse the application methods. Primer for painted surfaces Primer for glass Apply primer for glass and adhesive by following the black print marks on windshield glass NOTE:
The essential function of primers is to strengthen adhesion between the glass and the painted surface.
9.Apply primer for the painted surface to the body side bonding surface.
CAUTION: If the body side bonding surface is repaired with 2 liquid type urethane paint, always apply the primer after drying the paint. If primer for painted surfaces adheres to a painted surface other than the bonding area, or if it overflows, quickly remove it with white gasoline or degreasing agent. Always use a Standish cover (stainless plate) to prevent primer for painted surfaces from adhering to the instrument panel assembly.
10.Use sealant gun , affix the dam sealant rubber and apply adhesive along the edge of the glass within the time period indicated in the primers instruction after applying primer. NOTE:
Open adhesive by cutting off the nozzle tip and set it in a sealant gun.
Regarding the range of adhesive, refer to the Service Manual on each model.
11.Use suction lifter (A) or rubber suction cups that are installed in advance, align the matching marks between the holder and roof panel hole and between the body and windshield glass to install them on the vehicle.
CAUTION: 2 workers are required when installing the windshield glass.
12.Press entire surface of glass lightly to fit it completely.
13.Correct any adhesive overflow or shortage using a spatula to make the surface smooth.
14.Install new windshield glass upper molding.
CAUTION: Always install the windshield glass upper molding before the adhesive hardens. After installing glass, keep the front door glass open until the adhesive is completely cured. Never drive the vehicle before the adhesive is completely cured. NOTE:
Lightly affix the center of molding. Affix the whole length while checking the length on the left and right.
15.Remove protective tape.
16.Install the removed parts.
CAUTION: Adjust the camera unit on the windshield glass, if equipped. Adjust the front wiper arms stop position. Be sure to perform "WRITE CONFIGURATION" when replacing inside mirror assembly (high beam assist control module), if equipped. Or not doing so, high beam assist control function does not operate normally. Check the mating area with surrounding parts. Adjust if necessary.
