Be careful not to remove more adhesive than is 

necessary.

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.

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.
