2. The inner side of the windshield is curved,

therefore, make a point to assemble the glass
stopper and windshield spacer without any lifting
and assemble in the position shown.

3. Install the windshield moulding.

>>B<< WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION
1. 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
circumference. 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.

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

the windshield and the body in the specified
places.

3. Allow the windshield to dry for at least three

minutes after applying primer.
