>>B<< WINDSHIELD GLASS INSTALLATION

1. When replacing the windshield glass, temporarily set the 

windshield glass against the body, and place a mating mark 
on the windshield glass and body.

CAUTION

• The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be sure to 

apply it evenly around the entire circumference. How-
ever, a too thick application will weaken the adhesive.

• Do not touch the coated surface.
• Do not apply the primer on the remaining adhesive 

because of weakening the adhesive.

2. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the 

windshield glass and the body in the specified places.

3. Allow the windshield glass to dry for at least three minutes 

after applying primer.

4. Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive 

evenly around the windshield glass within 30 minutes after 
applying the primer.
NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V shape 
to simplify adhesive application.

5. Align the mating marks on the windshield glass and the 

body, and lightly press the windshield glass evenly so that it 
adheres completely.

6. Use a spatula or similar tool to remove any excessive 

adhesive. Clean the surface with 3M

™AAD Part number 

8906 or equivalent. Avoid moving the vehicle until the 
adhesive sets.
