12. Use masking tape (1, 2) in order to mark the location of the windshield in the opening.
13. Slit the masking tape at the edge of the windshield.
14. With the aid of an assistant and the suction cups, remove the windshield from the opening.
15. Place the windshield inside up on a clean, protected surface.
Important: Do not remove all traces of the adhesive. Remove all mounds or loose pieces of urethane adhesive.
16. If the original windshield is to be reused, remove all but a thin film of the existing urethane adhesive from the windshield surface by using a utility
knife or razor blade scraper.
17. If the extended method is being used, remove all but approximately 2 mm (5/64 in) of the existing bead of adhesive from the pinchweld flange.
18. Clean the inside surface of the windshield with a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water, with a lint free cloth.
Important: Do not apply the (black #3) primer to the existing bead of the urethane adhesive. Apply the primer only to nicks, scratches or
the primed surfaces.
19. Shake the pinchweld primer (black #3) for at least one minute.
20. Use a new dauber to apply the primer to the surface of the pinchweld flange.
21. Allow the pinchweld primer to dry for approximately 10 minutes.
Important: Use care when applying the glass prep (clear #1) to the windshield. This primer dries almost instantly, and may stain the
viewing area of the windshield if not applied evenly.
22. Use a new dauber in order to apply glass prep (clear #3) to an area approximately 10-16 mm (3/8-5/8 in) around the entire perimeter of the
window inner surface.
23. Apply a second coat of the glass prep (clear #1) to the same area of the glass.
24. Wipe the glass primed area immediately with a clean lint free cloth.
