Removal
NOTE: If the windshield glass is being removed to repair a dust/water leak, remove and reinstall the existing windshield glass.
1. Remove the A-pillar trim panels.
2. Remove the sun visors.
3. Remove the interior mirror.
4. Partially lower the front portion of the headliner near the windshield header and block with suitable material.
5. Remove the cowl panel grille.
6. Before cutting the urethane adhesive, remove dirt and other foreign material from the windshield pinchweld area.
-
Use a clean shop towel or oil-free compressed air.
7. NOTE: Refer to manufacturer's instructions before using the special tool.
Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the Interior Auto Glass Cut-Out Knife Kit when cutting the urethane adhesive.
8. WARNING:
-
Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
-
Wear protective gloves when handling components or parts that have pointed or sharp edges. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: To avoid rust formation, use extreme care not to scratch the paint or primer or otherwise damage the pinchweld during
glass removal.
NOTE:
-
Insert the blade into the special tool so that the flat side is against the glass. This will leave the entire urethane adhesive bead on the pinchweld
and allow a dry fit of the replacement windshield glass.
-
Support the windshield glass to prevent the glass from dropping while cutting the urethane adhesive.
Insert the special tool at the upper center of the windshield glass and work toward the bottom corners.
