1.To protect the body (paint surface), apply cloth tape to all body areas around the
installed windshield glass.
|
|
|
2.Make mating marks on the windshield glass and body.
|
|
3.Using piano wire.
(1)
Using a sharp-point drill, make a hole in the windshield adhesive.
(2)
Pass the piano wire from the inside of the vehicle through the hole.
(3)
|
|
| caution |
Do not let the piano wire touch the edge of the windshield glass.
|
|
Pull the piano wire alternately from the inside and outside along the windshield glass to
cut the adhesive.
|
|
4.
| caution |
Inserting the glass adhesive knife too deeply into windshield adhesive may damage windshield
glass.
|
Using glass adhesive knife
Keep glass adhesive knife at right angles with the windshield glass edge, and put the
blade at windshield glass edge and surface. Then cut away adhesive along the windshield glass edge.
|
|
5.Use special tool MB990480 to remove the windshield glass.
|
|
6.
| caution |
- Be careful not to remove more adhesive than is necessary.
- Be careful also not to damage the paint on the body surface with the knife. If the
paint is damaged, repair the damaged area with touch-up paint.
|
Use a knife to cut away the remaining adhesive so that the thickness is within 2 mm (0.08
inch) around the entire circumference of the body flange.
7.Finish the flange surfaces so that they are smooth.
8.
| caution |
Allow the cleaned area to dry for at least three minutes. Do not touch
any surface that has been cleaned.
|
When reusing the windshield glass, remove the adhesive still adhering to the windshield
glass, and clean with 3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent.
9.Clean the body side in the same way.
|
|
|
1.
| caution |
Leave the degreased parts for 3 or more minutes to dry well,
before starting on the next step. Do not touch the degreased parts.
|
Use 3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to degrease the inside and outside
of the windshield glass and the body flanges.
|
|
|
2.
Install the windshield spacer and glass stoppers to the specified positions so that there
are no adrift or warped surfaces inside the windshield glass.
|
|
|
3.
Install the adhesive tape to the windshield glass.
|
|
4.Install the windshield molding and front deck garnish retainer to the windshield glass.
|
|
|
1.When replacing the windshield glass, temporarily set the windshield glass against
the body, and place the mating marks on the windshield glass and body.
|
|
|
2.
| 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.
|
Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the windshield glass and the body in
the specified places.
|
|
|
3.Allow the windshield glass 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
glass 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 glass and the body, and lightly press the windshield
glass evenly so that it adheres completely.
6.Use a spatula or similar tool to remove any excessive adhesive. Clean the surface
with 3M™AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent. Avoid moving the vehicle until the adhesive
sets.
7.
| caution |
- Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely
necessary.
- When testing for water leakage, do not apply strong water pressure.
|
Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water leakage.
