REMOVAL

1.

Remove the front pillar garnish. Refer to

INT-14, "Removal and Installation"

.

2.

Partially remove the headlining (front edge). Refer to

INT-21, "Removal and Installation"

.

3.

EXT-19, "Removal and Installation"

.

4.

Remove the roof side molding. Refer to

EXT-24, "Removal and Installation"

.

5.

Apply protective tape around the windshield glass and sunroof glass to protect the painted surface from
damage.

6.

After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or power cutting tool (A) and an inflatable pump
bag (B).

NOTE:
If a windshield glass is to be reused, mark the body and the glass with matching marks.

WARNING:

When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help pre-
vent glass splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.

CAUTION:

• When a glass is to be reused, do not use a cutting knife or power cutting tool.
• Do not scratch the glass when removing.
• Do not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may develop into cracks.

INSTALLATION

• The dam rubber and insulator should be installed in position.
• Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or equivalent and follow the manuals furnished

with it.

• While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This will prevent the glass from being forced out

by passenger room air pressure when a door is closed.

• The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no gap.
• Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely

cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.

WARNING:

• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
• The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid

contact with the skin and eyes.

• Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled.

If affected by vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh air.

• Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance

of the windshield in case of an accident.

CAUTION:

• Perform adjustment of front wiper stop location. Refer to

WW-105, "Adjustment"

Inspection

INFOID:0000000001093976

Repairing Water Leakage for Windshield

Leakage can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.
If water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the extent of leakage.
This can be done by applying water to the windshield area while pushing glass outward.
To stop the leakage, apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leakage point.
