NOTE:
-
Put on gloves to protect your hands.

Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when prying components.
-
Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive with a piano wire.
-
Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces.

When replacing a broken windshield, a commercially available windshield cutter can be efficiently used for cutting the adhesive. For details,
follow the instructions of the tool manufacturer.
1. Remove these items:
-
Rearview mirror
-
A-pillar trim, both sides
-
Windshield wiper arms
-
Cowl covers
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 windshield will 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, as 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.
