19. Cut a "V" in the end of the nozzle (A) on the adhesive cartridge as shown.
20. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a continuous bead of adhesive (A) on the windshield (B) along the edge of the molding (C) and the
rubber dams (D) as shown. Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
21. Use suction cups to hold the windshield over the opening, align it with the alignment marks you made in step 15, and set it down on the adhesive.
Lightly push on the windshield until its edges are fully seated on the adhesive all the way around.
NOTE: Do not open or close any of the doors for about an hour until the adhesive is dry.
22. Remove the excess adhesive with a putty knife or a shop towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
23. Wait at least one hour for the adhesive to dry, then spray water over the windshield and check for leaks. Mark leaking areas, and let the windshield
dry, then seal with sealant. Let the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after windshield installation. If the vehicle has to be used within the first 4
hours, it must be driven slowly.
24. Reinstall all remaining removed parts.
NOTE: Advise the customer not to do the following things for 2 to 3 days:
-
Slam the doors with all the windows rolled up.
