Windshield: Service and Repair

Windshield Replacement

NOTE:

-

Put on gloves to protect your hands.

-

Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive with piano wire.

-

Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces.

1. Remove these items:

-

Rearview mirror

-

A-pillar trim

-

Windshield wiper arms

-

Cowl cover

2. Remove the molding (A) from the edge of the windshield (B). If necessary, cut the molding with a utility knife.
3. If the old glass is to be reinstalled, make alignment marks across the glass and body with a grease pencil.
4. Pull down the front portion of the headliner. Take care not to bend the headliner excessively, or you may crease or break it.
5. Apply protective tape along the edge of the dashboard and body. Using an awl, make a hole through the rubber dam, adhesive, and dashboard seal

from inside the vehicle at the corner portion of the glass. Push a piece of piano wire through the hole, and wrap each end around a piece of wood.
