Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
1. Remove inside mirror. Refer to See: Body and Frame/Mirrors/Service and Repair/Inside Mirror.
2. Partially remove the headliner (front edge). Refer to See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Headliner/Service and Repair.
3. Remove cowl top cover. Refer to See: Body and Frame/Cowl/Cowl Moulding / Trim/Service and Repair.
4. Apply protective tape around the windshield glass to protect the painted surface from damage.
-
Remove glass using piano wire or power cutting tool and an inflatable pump bag.
-
If the windshield glass is to be reused, mark the body and the glass with mating marks.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass splinters from entering your eyes
or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
-
When a windshield glass is to be reused, do not use a cutting knife or power cutting tool.
-
Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
-
Do set or stand glass on its edge. Small chips may develop into cracks.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
-
Use a genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or equivalent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
-
While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This will prevent the glass from being forced out by passenger compartment air
pressure when a door is closed.
-
The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position and leaves no gap.
-
Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time
varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
-
Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
-
The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
-
Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled.
If affected by vapor inhalation, immediately move to an area with fresh air.
