and installation of the:
²windshield reveal moulding,
²interior rearview mirror,
²windshield glass (using both the short and the ex-
tended installation method),
²rear quarter vent window glass,
²rear quarter window glass,
²liftgate window glass,

WINDSHIELD REVEAL MOULDING
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the reveal mouldings from the clips
around the windshield glass with an appropriate tool
(Fig. 1).
(2) Remove the mouldings from the windshield
frame.
(3) Inspect the reveal moulding retainer clips (Fig.
2). Replace broken, or loose clips (Fig. 3).

CAUTION: Avoid spilling or dripping primer on
painted surfaces. Clean spills or drips immediately.
The primer will damage the paint if it remains on
the surface for any length of time.
²thoroughly mix and apply glass blackout primer to
the 16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior
side of the glass (Fig. 15); then
²allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(11) Cut the urethane adhesive applicator nozzle
according to the instructions in Figure 16.
(12) Apply a continuous, 6-mm (1/4-in) diameter
bead of urethane adhesive to the surface area.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install glass immediately
after applying the adhesive. The adhesive begins to
cure within 10-15 minutes.(13) Align the glass with the reference marks and po-
sition the glass on the pinchweld flanges. Ensure that
the windshield glass is correctly seated on the support
spacers.
(14) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid
excessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(15) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at urethane. If any leaks
are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(16) Install reveal mouldings and (if used) remove
the masking tape from the inner surface of the glass.
(17) Install all components and clean the vehicle.
(18) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane is curing.If not
vented, pressure in the interior of the vehicle
may interfere with proper glass bonding.
(19) Install the rearview mirror on the bracket and
tighten mirror setscrew to 2 Nzm (15 in-lbs) torque.
INSTALLATIONÐEXTENDED METHOD
Normally, after a windshield is installed, the rear-
view mirror bracket also requires installation.Do not
install the bracket until after the windshield in-
stallation is completed.
(1) Remove the all of urethane from all pinchweld
flanges. Use an electric hot knife and a plow-type
knife blade to remove the adhesive.
(2) Inspect and repair the windshield opening and
pinchweld flanges (Fig. 11).
(3) Inspect and replace any reveal moulding clips if
bent, distorted, broken or loose (Fig. 12).
(4) Prime the pinchweld flanges with a urethane
base primer (Fig. 17). However, if the flange is color-
coated with paint, prime the flanges with a paint fin-
ish primer.This is important because urethane
adhesive will not adhere to all color-coat
paints.Allow primer sufficient time to dry.

(5) Install the bottom support spacers and the
stand-off spacers on the pinchweld flanges (Fig. 18).
Ensure that all spacers are water soluble.
(6) Install and inspect the fit of the windshield on
the pinchweld flanges as follows:
²position windshield on spacers (Fig. 19) and adjust
the position until it is aligned within windshield
opening;
²measure the gap between the pinchweld flanges
and glass around perimeter of the glass and flange;²the gap should be at least 3 mm (1/8 in), but no
more than 6 mm (1/4 in) at any point around the pe-
rimeter; and
²the flanges should also extend above the glass
edge equally around the perimeter of the opening.
(7) If the pinchweld flanges require repair, remove
the windshield glass and straighten, align, or repair
the flange(s) as necessary.
(8) Position the windshield on the spacers and in-
spect the windshield fit again. Mark the windshield
final position on the glass and body with a wax pen-
cil (or use masking tape). The marks (or masking
tape) will be used for installation alignment refer-
ence.
(9) If the replacement windshield does not have
blackout primer:
²attach a 25-mm (1-in) wide masking tape band
around the interior side of glass 16 mm (5/8 in) from
edge of glass (Fig. 14);
²do not attach tape along the bottom of the glass
andattach only to the inside of glass;
²thoroughly mix and apply blackout primer to the
16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior side
of the glass (Fig. 15); then
²allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(10) Cut the urethane applicator nozzle according
to the instructions in Figure 16.
(11) Apply a continuous bead of urethane to the
surface area with blackout primer on the interior
side of glass. The bead should be 6-mm (1/4-in) wide
by 9-mm (3/8-in) deep for best results.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install the windshield im-
mediately after applying the urethane adhesive.
Most urethane adhesive begins to cure within 10-15
minutes.
(12) Align the windshield with the wax pencil in-
stallation alignment reference marks (or the tape
strips). Position the windshield on pinchweld flanges
and spacers (Fig. 20).
(13) Force the windshield inward just enough to
wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid ex-
cessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(14) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at the urethane. If any
leaks are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(15) Install the windshield reveal mouldings and
(if used) remove the masking tape from the inner
surface of glass.
(16) Install all components and clean the vehicle. If
necessary, refer to the installation procedures.
(17) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane adhesive is curing.If
not vented, pressure in the interior of vehicle
will interfere with glass bonding.
