Front Corner Window Glass: Service and Repair
Front Corner Glass Replacement
NOTE:
-
Put on gloves to protect your hands.
-
Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surface.
1. Remove the A-pillar trim.
2. From inside the vehicle, use a knife (A) to cut through the front corner glass adhesive (B) all the way around. Apply protective tape along the edge
of the entire front corner glass opening flange.
3. From outside the vehicle, pry the front corner glass clips (A, B) and the front corner trim clips (C), then carefully remove the glass (D) and trim
(E) together. The trim is not glued to the glass.
4. With a putty knife, scrape the old adhesive smooth to a thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface around the entire front corner
glass opening flange:
-
Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper bonding.
-
If any of the clips are broken, remove them from the body.
5. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep oil, grease and water from getting on the surface.
6. If the old front corner glass is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all of old adhesive from the front corner glass. Clean the inside face
of the front corner glass and the edge of the glass with alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied. Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of
water, oil and grease.
