20. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a

continuous bead of adhesive (A) around the edge
of the windshield (B) between the dams (C) and the
molding (D) as shown. Apply the adhesive within
30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a
slightly thicker bead at each corner.

21. Pull out the glass side adhesive backing away from

the lower rubber dam.

22. Hold the windshield with suction cups over the

opening, align it with the alignment marks 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.

NOTE: Do not open or close any of the doors for
about an hour until the adhesive is dry.

23. 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 isopropyl alcohol.

24. After the adhesive has dried, spray water over the

windshield and check for leaks. Mark leaking area,
let the windshield dry, then seal with sealant. Let
the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after
windshield installation. If the vehicle has to be used
within the first 4 hours, it must be driven slowly.

25. Reinstall all remaining removed parts.

NOTE: Advise the customer not to do the following
things for 2 to 3 days:

• Slam the doors with all the windows rolled up.
• Twist the body excessively (such as when going

in and out of driveways at an angle or driving
over rough, uneven roads).

Front Corner Glass Replacement

Fastener Locations

: Clip, 2

NOTE:

• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive.
• Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surface.

1. Remove the A-pillar trim (see page 20-69).

2. From inside the vehicle, cut through the front

corner glass adhesive (A) with a utility knife (B) all
the way around. Apply protective tape along the
edge of the entire front corner glass opening flange.

3. From outside the vehicle, pry the front corner glass

clips (A) and the front corner trim clips (B), then
carefully remove the glass (C) and the trim (D)
together. The trim is not attached to the glass.

4. Scrape smooth the old adhesive, using a putty

knife or similar tool, until there is a thickness of
about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface
around the entire front corner glass opening flange:

• Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the

body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding.

• If any of the clips are broken, remove them from

the body.

5. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge

applicator dampened in isopropyl alcohol. After
cleaning, keep oil, grease, and water from getting
on the surface.

6. If the old front corner glass will be reinstalled,

scrape off the old adhesive with a putty knife from
the front corner glass. Clean the bonding surfaces
on the inside face of the front corner glass and the
edge of the glass with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure
the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil and
grease.

7. Attach the rubber dam (A) and the clips (B) with

adhesive tape to the inside face of the front corner
glass (C) as shown.
Be careful not to touch the front corner glass where
adhesive will be applied.

8. Apply a light coat of glass primer with a sponge

applicator to the inside face of the front corner
glass (A) as shown, then lightly wipe it off with
gauze or cheesecloth:

• With the printed dots (B) on the front corner glass

as a guide, apply the glass primer to both lower
corner portions of the front corner glass.

• Do not apply body primer to the front corner

glass, and do not get body and glass primer
sponge applicators mixed up.

• Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands.

If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the front
corner glass properly, causing a leak after the
front corner glass is installed.

• Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away

from primed surfaces.

original adhesive on the flange.

• Be careful not to mix up the body and glass

primer sponge applicators.

corner glass (B) as shown:

• With the printed dots (C) on the front corner glass

as a guide, apply the adhesive to both side
portions of the front corner glass.

• Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after

applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker
bead at each corner.
