9. Pack adhesive into the cartridge without air pockets to ensure continuous delivery. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a bead of sealant
(A) around the edge of the windshield (B) between the fastener and molding as shown. Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the
glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
10. Use glass holder (A) to hold the windshield over the opening, align it with the alignment marks (B) 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. Do not open or close the doors until
the adhesive is dry.
11. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted surface or the windshield, wipe with a soft
shop towel dampened with alcohol.
12. Let the adhesive dry for at least one hour, 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 four hours after windshield installation. If the vehicle has to be used within the first four, it must be driven
slowly.
-
Keep the windshield dry for the first hour after installation.
13. Reinstall all remaining removed parts. Install the rearview mirror after the adhesive has dried thoroughly. Advise the customer not to do the
following things for two to three days:
-
Slam the door with all the windows rolled up.
-
