WINDSHIELD GLASS

1.

Using a scraper, remove remaining adhesive (sealant) on the
body side down to approximately a depth that is 2.0 mm (0.079
in) thick (a) so that entire contour becomes smooth. 

CAUTION:

If the bonded area on the body is scratched, repair it with a
two-liquid type urethane paint. Never use lacquer type
paint. 

2.

When reusing the glass (2), use the cutter (A) to remove the
remaining adhesive (1) (sealant) and smooth out the surface. 

3.

Mount the glass onto the vehicle and paint matching marks on the body and glass when installing new
glass. Then remove the glass again. 

4.

Use the rubber suction cups or suction lifter (A) to set the glass
(1) on the glass stand (B). 

5.

Clean the bonded area on the glass and body with white gasoline or degreasing agent.
