Pass the piano wire (B) from the passenger room to the bonded
area of windshield glass using a wire pierce (A).

CAUTION:

• Never press the piano wire excessively against the edge

of the glass.

• Always use a Standish cover (C) to keep the piano wire

clear of plastic parts such as the instrument panel.

• For the corner area, never insert the piano wire into the

mating surfaces of windshield glass.

• Never damage the harness around the windshield glass.

ii.

Tie both ends of the piano wire (B) to the wire grip (A), etc.

iii.

With 2 persons, one holding the piano wire (B) inside the vehicle
along with the windshield glass and the other holding it outside
the vehicle along with the gap between the body and windshield
glass, pull it to cut off the adhesive.

CAUTION:

Always use a Standish cover (C) to keep the piano wire
clear of plastic parts such as the instrument panel.

With a windshield cutter (A) (when replacing windshield glass)

Apply soapy water around the bonded area on the body for
smooth movement of the windshield cutter.

ii.

Insert the windshield cutter into the bonded area. Cut the adhe-
sive by pulling the knife, keeping the tip parallel to the edge of
the windshield glass.

11. Use rubber suction cups or suction lifter (A), etc. to remove

windshield glass from the vehicle.

WINDSHIELD GLASS

INSTALLATION

Using a scraper, remove remaining adhesive (sealant) on the
body side down to approximately a depth that is 2 mm (0.079 in)
thick (a) so that entire contour becomes smooth.

CAUTION:

If the bonded area on the body is scratched, repair it with a
two-liquid type urethane paint. Never use lacquer type
paint.

When reusing the windshield glass (2), use the cutter (A) to
remove the remaining adhesive (1) (sealant) and smooth out the
surface.

Mount the windshield glass onto the vehicle and paint matching marks on the body and glass when install-
ing new glass. Then remove the glass again.

Use the rubber suction cups or suction lifter (A) to set the glass
(1) on the glass stand (B).

Install a new adhesive tape into the windshield glass.

Install the news spacers.

Install dam sealant rubber.

Clean the bonded area on the glass and body with white gasoline or degreasing agent.

Install new glass insulator.

10. Install new clips (lower and upper).
11. Apply primer for the glass along the entire circumference of the glass.

Use the sealing kit for glass application and the special holder for cartridge or similar tools.

CAUTION:

There are 2 types of primer. Never confuse the application methods.
• Primer for painted surfaces
• Primer for glass
NOTE:
The essential function of primers is to strengthen adhesion between the glass and the painted surface.

12. Apply primer for the painted surface to the body side bonding surface.

CAUTION:

• If the body side bonding surface is repaired with a two-liquid type urethane paint, always apply

the primer after drying the paint.

• If primer for painted surfaces adheres to a painted surface other than the bonding area, or if it

overflows, quickly remove it with white gasoline or degreasing agent.

• Always use a Standish cover (stainless plate) to prevent primer for painted surfaces from adher-

ing to the instrument panel.

13. Affix the dam sealant rubber and apply adhesive along the edge of the glass within the time period indi-

cated in the service manual after applying primer.
• When reusing the glass, affix new dam sealant rubber at the same place where old dam rubber is

affixed.

• When installing new glass, apply the dam sealant rubber from the edge of the glass so as to hide the

black print.

CAUTION:

• Apply the dam sealant rubber (1) from the outline mark of

black print as shown in Exploded View.

• Start to apply the dam sealant rubber at the outline mark

of black print. Apply it so as to only place it without pull-
ing. Stop applying at another outline mark of black print.

NOTE:
Open adhesive by cutting off the nozzle tip and set it in a sealant
gun.

14. Use rubber suction cups or suction lifter (A) that are installed in

advance, align the matching marks between the spacer and roof
panel hole and between the body and glass (1) to install them on
the vehicle.

CAUTION:

2 or more workers are required when installing the glass.

15. Press the entire surface of the glass lightly to fit it completely.

16. Install the new fastener.
17. Correct any adhesive overflow or shortage using a spatula to make the surface smooth.

18. Remove the protective tape.

19. Install new windshield glass molding.

NOTE:
Lightly affix the center of molding. Affix the whole length while checking the length on the left and right.

CAUTION:

• Always install the windshield molding before the adhesive hardens.
• After installing glass, keep the front door glass open until the adhesive is completely cured.

Never drive the vehicle.

20. Install the removed parts.

CAUTION:

• Adjust the front wiper arms stop position. Refer to

WW-40, "Adjustment"

• Check the mating area with surrounding parts. Adjust if necessary.

REPAIRING WATER LEAKAGE FOR WINDSHIELD

Leakage can be repaired without removing the glass.
Determine the extent of leakage if water is leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass.
This can be done by applying water to the windshield area while pushing glass outward.
Apply primer (if necessary) and then urethane adhesive to the leakage point to stop the leakage.
