Windshield: Service and Repair

Windshield Glass

Removal

1. Remove the interior mirror.
2. Remove the A-pillar trim panels.
3. Remove the plenum chamber panel.
4. Disconnect the heated front screen electrical connectors, if installed.
5. Feed the glazing cutting wire around the windshield under the waist seal.

Pull glazing wire through windshield sealant to the inside of the vehicle.

6. WARNING:  Wear safety goggles and protective gloves.

CAUTION:  Protect the surrounding paintwork to avoid damage.

From inside the vehicle, cut the windshield sealant using the glazing cutting wire.

Installation

1. Apply etch primer to any bare metal.
2. Apply primer over the etch primer.
3. Apply glass primer to the sealant face on the windshield glass and allow to cure.
4. Apply activator over the old sealant on the windshield glass and allow to cure.
5. Fit a pre-cut nozzle to the sealer cartridge, remove the lid, shake out the crystals and fit the cartridge to the applicator gun.

Modify the nozzle to achieve a bead section in the shape of a right angle triangle with a base of 8 mm and a vertical height of 12 mm.

6. Apply a continuous bead of sealant to the windshield glass.

CAUTION:  Make sure the heated front screen foil electrical connectors are tucked underneath the body plenum panel. This will avoid
contact with the windscreen wiper arm linkage.

7. With assistance, install the window glass.

Lightly press the window glass to seat the sealer.
Secure the windshield glass in position using tape.
Connect the heated front screen electrical connectors, if installed.

8. Test the sealer for leaks, apply additional sealer if necessary. If water is used, allow sealer to dry before testing.

Spray water around the glass and check for leaks. Mark any area that leaks. Dry the glass and sealer then apply additional sealer.
