NOTE: Remove the rubber dam from the body.

Installation

1. Clean the body bonding surface with a shop towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning, do not allow oil, grease, and water to contact on the clean surface.

2. If you are reinstalling the original windshield, scrape off all of the original adhesive, the windshield molding, the windshield lower molding, the dashboard seal, and the EPT foam from the windshield with a putty knife. Clean the bonding surfaces on the inside face and the edge of the windshield with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and grease.

3. Install the new windshield molding (h), windshield lower molding (i), dashboard seal (k), and EPT foam (m) with adhesive tape on the windshield (n) as shown. (Figure 5)

NOTE:

Before installing the windshield molding, the windshield lower molding, the dashboard seal, and the EPT foam apply glass primer (o) to the area where the adhesive tape will be applied. (Figure 5)
Be careful not to touch the windshield where the adhesive will be applied. (Figure 5)
Install the windshield molding, the dashboard seal, and the EPT foam to the windshield, using the alignment marks (p) on the windshield as the guides. (Figure 5)

6. Apply a light coat of primer (ab) to the windshield (ac) along the edge of the windshield molding (ad) and the windshield lower molding (ae) as shown, then lightly wipe it off with gauze or cheesecloth. (Figure 7)

NOTE:

Apply the primer to corner areas of the windshield using the printed dots (af) on the windshield as a guide. (Figure 7)
Apply primer to the molding.
Do not apply body primer to the windshield, and do not mix up the body and glass primer applicators.

10. Hold the windshield with suction cups over the opening, align it with the alignment marks made, and set it down on the adhesive. Lightly push on the windshield until its edges are fully seated on the adhesive all the way around. Carefully remove the suction cups.

NOTICE:

Do not open or close any of the doors for about an hour until the adhesive is dry.

11. Remove the excess adhesive with a putty knife or a shop towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol.

12. Wait at least an hour for the adhesive to dry, then spray water over the windshield and check for leaks. Mark the leaking areas, let the windshield dry, then seal with sealant: Let the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after windshield installation. If the vehicle has to be used within the first 4 hours, it must be driven slowly.
