Windshield Glass Installation
- Install the windshield molding to the windshield glass.
- To replace the windshield glass, temporarily set the windshield glass against the body, and place mating marks on the body and windshield glass.CAUTION:
- The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be sure to apply it. However, too thick application will weaken the adhesive.
- Do not touch the coated surface.
- Do not apply the primer on the remaining adhesive. The adhesive strength may be weakened.
- Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the windshield glass and the body in the specified places.
- After applying the primer, let it dry for 3 minutes or more.
- Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the windshield glass within 30 minutes after the primer application.NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V-shape to simplify adhesive application.
- After applying the adhesive, align the mating marks on the windshield glass and the body, and then press the windshield glass gently to seat it.
- Use spatula or the like to remove any excessive adhesive. Then clean the surface with parts cleaner (3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent). Leave the vehicle stationary until the adhesive sets (Refer to WINDOW GLASS INSTALLATION
).
CAUTION:
- Move the vehicle carefully.
- When testing for water leakage, do not pinch the end of the hose to spray the water.
- Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water leakage.
