Using a utility knife with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a utility knife.

If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is closed, the resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack preventing
the proper installation of the windshield. Keep the door glass opened until the windshield installation is completed.
-
If the rain sensor is replaced with a new one, the reflection rate when the switch the ignition to on the first time is memorized as a condition that no
rainfall is on the windshield. Therefore, remove water and dirt from the windshield before switch the ignition to on. Perform the rain sensor
reinitial setting in the following cases: See: Sensors and Switches/Sensors and Switches - Wiper and Washer Systems/Rain Sensor/Testing and
