Windshield Glass Installation

When replacing the windshield glass, temporarily set the windshield glass against the body, and make mating marks on the windshield glass 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.
Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the windshield glass and the body in the specified places.
After applying the primer, let it dry for 3 minutes or more.
Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the windshield glass within 30 minutes after the primer application.
NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V shape to simplify adhesive application.

When applying the adhesive to area "A" of the windshield glass, make sure that the adhesive bead should be 10.3 mm (0.41 inches) wide and 15.3 mm (0.60 inches) high.
After applying the adhesive, align the mating marks on the windshield glass and the body, and then press the windshield glass gently to seat it.
Use a spatula or the like to remove any excessive adhesive. Then clean the surface with the parts cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent). Leave the vehicle stationary until the adhesive sets.
CAUTION:
- Move the vehicle carefully.
- When testing for water leakage, do not pinch the end of the hose to spray the water.
Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water leakage.
