Windshield: Service and Repair

WINDSHIELD GLASS

Fixed Glass

REMOVAL

1. WHEN USING THE WINDSHIELD GLASS KNIFE

1. Remove the cowl panel.
2. Remove the front molding.
3. Tape the body panel around the windshield glass for protection.
4. Apply sufficient amount of soapy water to the adhesive part.
5. Make a cut in the adhesive part using a putty knife so that windshield glass knife can be inserted easily.
6. Insert the windshield glass knife into adhesive part.
7. While holding the knife edge and windshield glass edge at a right angle, move the windshield glass knife in parallel to the windshield glass

edge along the surface and edge of windshield glass to cut the adhesive part.

NOTE:
-

Do not twist the windshield glass knife.

-

Cutting of adhesive part shall be started with wider gap between windshield glass and body.

-

Because the locating pins are bonded to the corners of glass, use piano wire to cut the pin.
