1. Make a hole through the sealant, avoiding pins, from the inside of the vehicle using an awl.
2. Pass the SST (piano wire) through the hole.
WARNING: Using the SST (piano wire) with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using the SST (piano wire).
3. Wind each end of the SST (piano wire) around a bar.
NOTE: Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of the SST (piano wire) to prevent it from breaking due to localized
heating.
4. Fix one end of the SST (piano wire), and while pulling the other end, cut the sealant around the windshield.
5. Remove the windshield.
6. Remove the pins from the windshield.
7. Remove the windshield molding from the windshield glass.
WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION
CAUTION: To prevent the sealant from cracking or the glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door is closed, open all of the windows and
leave them open until the sealant has hardened.
1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that 1-2 mm (0.04-0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains along the perimeter of the frame.
WARNING: Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
2. If the sealant has come off completely in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it approx. 30 min to dry. Then put on new
sealant to create a 2 mm (0.08 in) layer.
3. Clean and degrease an approx. 50.0 mm (1.97 in) wide strip along the perimeter of the glass and the bonding area on the body.
