Be careful not to remove more adhesive than is

necessary.

• Be careful also not to damage the paintwork

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

6. 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.

7. Finish the flange surfaces so that they are

smooth.

CAUTION

Allow the cleaned area to dry for at least three
minutes. Do not touch any surface that has been
cleaned.
8. When reusing the windshield, remove the

adhesive still adhering to the windshield, and
clean with isopropyl alcohol.

9. Clean the body side in the same way.

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 in the Figure
of the instructions.

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 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.

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

the windshield in the specified places. If the
adhesive does not remain on the body flange
surface because of the panel replacement on the
body side, apply evenly to the body side in the
specified places.

3. Allow the windshield to dry for at least three

minutes after applying primer.

4. 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.

5. Align the mating marks on the windshield and the

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

6. Use a spatula or similar tool to remove any

excessive adhesive. Clean the surface with
isopropyl alcohol. Avoid moving the vehicle until
the adhesive sets.

7. Bond the windshield to the body, and install the

roof drip moulding quickly before the adhesive
cures. (Refer to GROUP51, Moulding

P.51-9

.)

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.
