Removal

PROCEDURE

1. Before removing the windshield, remove the following components:

- upper front pillar trim;
- inside rear view mirror;
- wiper arms;
- upper cowl cover;
- windshield moulding.

2. Using special tool 09861-31100, cut the windshield sealant.

3. If the windshield will be reinstalled, leave a layer of sealant on the glass and body. Mark the position of the glass on the vehicle body.

4. Using special tool 09861-31400, remove the windshield from the vehicle.

Installation

PROCEDURE

1. Using a special tool or knife, trim the old sealant to a layer thickness of 2 mm around the entire perimeter of the flange and windshield.

Be careful not to remove more sealant than necessary, and do not damage the vehicle paint.

2. Degrease the treated surface.

3. Place the windshield against the window opening and mark the installation positions on the body at four points.

4. Attach the rubber cushion to the inside surface of the windshield.
Sealant layer height:

Top: 13.5 mm
Sides: 13.5 mm
Bottom: 27 mm

5. Install the windshield.

6. Apply a thin layer of glass primer to the outer side of the windshield rubber gasket.

Do not touch the sealant layer with your hands.

If the sealant is touched by hand, it cannot provide a reliable bond and leaks may occur at this point after the glass is installed.
Do not apply body primer to the glass.

7. Apply a thin layer of primer over the initially applied sealant protruding along the glass perimeter. The glass must be installed within 10 min after applying the primer.

8. Load adhesive into the cartridge and apply it along the edge of the windshield.

Apply the adhesive within 5 min after applying the glass primer.

9. Using the special tool or suction cups, install the glass into the window opening in accordance with the previously made marks and press the glass against the window opening.

10. Using a spatula, remove excess adhesive. Fill all voids and gaps along the windshield perimeter.

11. Direct a stream of water onto the windshield and check the installation for leaks. Do not direct a high-pressure water stream onto fresh sealant.

12. If leaks are found, dry the damaged area and apply sealant.

Do not operate the vehicle for 4 hours after glass installation.
After windshield installation, support the glass for the first hour.

13. Install all previously removed components.

For 2-3 days after windshield installation, do not slam the doors.
Avoid driving on rough roads where the vehicle body is subjected to intense twisting.
