CAUTION

• Be careful not to remove more adhesive than

on the body surface with the knife. If the
paintwork is damaged, repair the damaged
area with repair paint or anti-rust agent.

5. Use a knife to cut away the remaining adhesive so

that the thickness is within 2 mm around the entire
circumference of the body flange.

6. Finish the flange surfaces so that they are

smooth.

7. If the windshield glass is reused, scrape away all

traces of old adhesive from the glass.

>>B<< WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION

1. Install the windshield moulding to the windshield.
2. When replacing the windshield, temporarily set

the windshield against the body, and place a
mating mark on the windshield and body.

CAUTION

• The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be

sure to apply it evenly around the entire cir-
cumference. However, a too thick application
will weaken the adhesive.

• Do not touch the coated surface.
• Do not apply the primer on the remaining

adhesive because of weakening the adhesive.

3. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to

the windshield and the body in the specified
places. If the old adhesive does not remain on the
body flange because of the body panel or others,
also apply the primer to the specified body side.

4. Allow the windshield to dry for at least three

minutes after applying primer.

5. Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the

adhesive evenly around the windshield within 30
minutes after applying the primer.
NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a
V shape to simplify adhesive application.

6. Align the mating marks on the windshield and the

body, and lightly press the windshield evenly so
that it adheres completely.

7. Use spatula or the like to remove any excessive

adhesive. Then clean the surface with isopropyl
alcohol.

CAUTION

• Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely

necessary.

• When testing for water leakage, do not pinch

the end of the hose to spray the water.

8. Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water

leakage.
