IMPORTANT: Apply the prep (clear #1) to the windshield carefully. The primer dries almost instantly, and may stain the viewing area of the windshield if not applied evenly.

Use a new dauber in order to apply glass prep (clear #1) to the channel area approximately 13 mm (1/2 in) to the upper edge of the windshield.
Wipe the glass primed area immediately with a clean lint-free cloth.
Shake the glass primer (black #2) for at least 1 minute. Use a new dauber to apply the primer to the top edge of the windshield.
