  • If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is closed, the resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack preventing the proper installation of the windshield. Keep the door glass opened until the windshield installation is completed.
  1. Remove the sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a utility knife. (Reusing windshield)
  2. Clean and degrease an approx. 50 mm {2.0 in} wide strip along the perimeter of the windshield.
  3. Inspect the glass for cracks. If it is cracked, chamfer it using sandpaper.
