20-2. WINDSHIELD
The windshield glass is bonded to the window panel (body) with weatherstrip in position. When replacing
the glass, it is necessary to perform correct operation and adhesive selection so that adequate bonding
strength can be obtained.

Fig. 20-2-1
CLEANING
1) After removing the glass, remove the urethane
gum sticking to the glass and window panel
(body).
Fig. 20-2-2
NOTE:
When removing the urethane gum from the
window panel (body), apply a masking tape
along the edge of the gummed surface to protect
the painted surface from damage.

Fig. 20-2-3
2. Use cleaning solvent to clean the glass and
window panel (body).
NOTE:
The use of alcohol or thinner when cleaning may
adversely affect some kinds of adhesives in
terms of bonding strength, resulting in that it is
impossible to obtain adequate strength for glass
installation. So, be careful sufficiently about the
selection of the cleaning solvent

1) As for the cleaning, use cleaning solvent.
The use of alcohol or thinner adversely affects
some kinds of adhesives in terms of bonding
strength. Hence, use sufficient care to select
proper cleaning solvent.
2) When cleaning the weatherstrip, apply a 3 kg
or more pressure on a clean cloth to wipe and
clean it.
3) After cleaned with solvent, each item should
not be touched by hand fouled with grease,
etc.
4) Make a glass-and-weatherstrip assembly,
Thereafter, carefully keep the assembly free
from dust to assemble it to the window panel
(body) as soon as possible.
5) Glass installation
When assembling the glass into the weather-
strip’s glass channel, and when assembling the
glass-and-weatherstrip assembly to the window
panel (body) soapy water must not be used as
lubricant. If the installation is felt hard, use
cleaning solvent as lubricant,
1, Soapy water

l When installing the glass-and-weatherstrip
assembly to the window panel (body), pre-
viously fit a cord into the weatherstrip’s
body flange channel.
l Start the installation from the central bottom
portion of the glass.
l Position the glass-and-weatherstrip assembly
in the window panel (body) opening with a
helper applying pressure by palm from the
outside. Then, pull the weatherstrip over the
flange with the cord to install the assembly
into position.

6) As for the bondingagent, use urethan-based
bonding agent having the strength as shown
below:
ISeparating StrengthAt least 6 kg/l/2 in
wideI
Shearing StrengthAt least 10 kg/cm2I
20-9
Page 444 of 962
7) Fill bonding agent completely between the
glass and the weatherstrip and also between
the window panel (body) and the weather-
strip.
To confirm this condition, bonding agent
should be oozed out of position.
1. Windshield glass2. Windshield weatherstrip
3. Adhesive4. Window panel (body)
Fig. 20-2-6
CAUTlOlU:
l Bonding agent should be of the type
which conforms to the material of the
weatherstrip, having the above-mentioned
strength. Also it must not affect the
painted surface, weatherstrip or glass.
l Until when the bonding agent is so com-
pletely dried that its strength can be ob-
tained sufficiently, the relevant vehicle
should not be driven. As for the drying
time, follow the direction suggested by
the manufacturer of the relavant bonding
agent.
8) Oozed bonding agent should be wiped and
cleaned with solvent completely.

Handling of Back Door Balancer.
WARNING:
l Handle the balancer carefully. Do not
scar or scratch the exposed surface of
its piston rod, and never allow any paint
or oil to stick to the surface.
l Do not disassemble the balancer because
its cylinder is filled with high pressure
Qas.
l Do not put it into the fire.
l Do not store it where it gets hot.
l When discarding the removed back door
balancer, envelop it, as illustrated, with
a vinyl bag. Then, use a 2 to 3 mm (0.08
to 0.12 in) drill to make a hole, as shown,
from above through the bag into the
balancer and let gas out.
