>>C<< 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. However, a too thick application will weaken the adhesive.
    • Do not touch the coated surface.
    • Do not apply the primer on the remaining adhesive. The adhesive strength may be weakened.
  2. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the windshield glass and the body in the specified places.
  3. After applying the primer, let it dry for 3 minutes or more.
  4. Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the windshield within 30 minutes after the primer application.
    NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V shape to simplify adhesive application.
  5. After applying the adhesive, align the mating marks on the windshield and the body, and then press the windshield gently to seat it.
  6. Use spatula or the like to remove any excessive adhesive. Then clean the surface with the parts cleaner (3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent). Leave the vehicle stationary until the adhesive sets. (Refer to Rest time after operation GENERAL INFORMATION .)
