Reusing Windshield

Warning

• Using the piano wire with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the piano

wire.

1. Avoiding the pin on the inside of the vehicle, insert

the piano wire which has been cut to sufficient
length.

2. Wind each end of the piano wire around a bar.

Note

• Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the piano wire to prevent it from

breaking due to localized heating.

3. Secure one end of the piano wire, and while

pulling the other end, cut the sealant around the
quarter window glass.

4. Pull the quarter window glass outward and detach

the pins from the body.

5. If a pin or spacer is damaged, remove it.

Note

• Before removing the pins or spacers from

the quarter window glass, place alignment

QUARTER WINDOW GLASS INSTALLATION

id091200801800

Warning

• Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.

Caution

• 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 glass. Keep the
door glass open until the quarter window glass installation is completed.

1. Remove sealant along the perimeter of the glass using a razor or scraper. (when reusing the glass)
2. Clean and degrease the ceramic part along the perimeter of the glass.
3. Inspect the glass for cracks. If it is cracked, chamfer it using sandpaper.
4. If the glass is reused, attach the pins and fastener to the glass as shown in the figure.

Align with the alignment marks marked before removing the glass.

5. Apply glass primer along the hollowed marks in the ceramic coating on the new glass, along the sealant tracks

on the reused glass, then allow it to dry for approx. 30 min.

Caution

• To prevent weakening of the primer adhesion, keep the bonding surface free of dirt, moisture, and

grease. Do not touch the surface with your hand.

Note

• Apply primer to the hollowed marks in the ceramic coating.

6. Cut away the old sealant using a razor or scraper so that 1— 2 mm {0.04— 0.079 in} thickness of sealant

remains along the perimeter of the frame.

7. If the sealant has come off completely in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it

approx. 30 min to dry. Then apply 2 mm {0.079 in} thickness of new sealant.

8. Clean and degrease the bonding surface along the perimeter of the body.

grease. Do not touch the surface with your hand.
