WINDSHIELD Removal Note Windshield If the glass will not be reused 1. Use a tool like that shown in the figure and insert the blade into the sealant. 2. Pull through the sealant around the edge of the glass. 3. Remove the glass. If the glass will be reused 1. Apply protective tape along the edge of the body to pro- tect it from damage. 2. Using an awl, make a hole through the sealant from the inside of the vehicle. 3. Pass piano wire through the hole. 4. Wind each end of the wire around a bar. 5. Working with another person, saw through the sealant around the edge of the glass. Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of wire to pre- vent it from breaking. 6. Remove the glass. Installation Note Windshield 1. Cut away the old sealant with a razor knife so that 1 to 2 mm (0.04 to 0.08 in) of sealant remains around the cir- cumference of the frame. If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it 30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm (0.08 in} layer. 2. Carefully clean an area 5 cm (1.97 in) wide around the circumference of the glass and bonding area of the body. 3. Apply primer with a brush to the bonding area of the glass and the body. Keep the area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the surface. Allow it to dry for approximately 30 minutes. Gartner Banana

If a spacer is damaged, replace it. 6. Prepare the nozzle of the sealant tube so that it has a flange that can run along the edge of the glass and a V from which the sealant can flow. Once the primer is dry, apply repair sealant (BOO1 77 739) around the entire cir- cumference to fill the gap between the dam and the edge of the glass with a ridge of sealant 11 mm I0.43 in} high. Keep the bead of sealant smooth and even, reshaping it where necessary with a spatula. 7. If a protector is damaged, securely bond a new protector onto the body as shown. Allow it to dry completely. 8. Install the glass, aligning the glass mark with the V notch in the spacer. Push it in lightly toward the vehicle to corn- press the sealant. 9. To prevent the glass from being pushed out by air pres- sure if a door is closed, open all of the windows until the repair sealant has hardened.

Cut away the old sealant with a razor knife so that 1 to 2 mm (0.04 to 0.08 in) of sealant remains around the cir- cumference of the frame. If all the sealant has come off in any one place, apply some primer after decreasing, and allow it 30 minutes to dry. Then put on new sealant to create a 2 mm I0.08 in) layer. 2. Carefully clean an area 5 cm (1.97 in) wide around the circumference of the glass and bonding area of the top. 3. Apply primer with a brush to the bonding area of the glass and top.
