INSTALLATIONÐEXTENDED METHOD
Normally, after a windshield is installed, the rear-
view mirror bracket also requires installation.Do
not install the bracket until after the wind-
shield installation is completed.
(1) Remove all of the original urethane from all the
frame pinchweld flanges. Use an electric hot knife
and a plow-type knife blade to remove the adhesive.
(2) Inspect and repair the windshield frame and
the pinchweld flanges as necessary.
(3) Inspect and replace the reveal molding if the
retainers are damaged.
(4) Prime the frame pinchweld flanges with a ure-
thane base primer. However, if the flange is top-
coated with paint, prime the flanges with a paint
finish primer.This is important because ure-
thane adhesive will not adhere to all top coat
paints.
(5) Install the replacement interior trim molding
(Fig. 5) on the frame pinchweld flanges (Fig. 5).
(6) Install and inspect the fit of the windshield
glass on the pinchweld flanges according to the fol-
lowing instructions:
²Position the windshield glass on the flanges and
adjust the position until it is correctly aligned within
the windshield frame.
²Measure the gap between the frame and the glass
around the entire perimeter of the glass and the
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 the flanges should be in complete con-
tact with the glass around the perimeter of the
frame.
(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 flanges and in-
spect the windshield fit again. If the fit is acceptable,
mark windshield final position on the glass and the
frame. The marks (or masking tape) will be used for
installation alignment reference.
(9) If the replacement windshield glass does not
have blackout primer:
²Attach a 25-mm (1-in) wide masking tape band
around the interior side of the glass 16 mm (5/8 in)
from the edge of the glass (Fig. 6).
²Attach the tape only to the interior side of
the glass.
²Thoroughly mix and apply blackout primer to the
16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior side
of the glass (Fig. 6).
²Allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(10) Cut the urethane adhesive applicator nozzle
(Fig. 7).
(11) Apply a 3-mm (1/8-in) diameter bead of ure-
thane to the surface area.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install the windshield
glass immediately after applying the adhesive. The
adhesive begins to cure within 10-15 minutes.
(12) Align windshield with reference marks (or the
tape strips) and position it on the frame pinchweld
flanges.
(13) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set urethane. Use care to avoid exces-
sive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(14) Water test the windshield with a cold water
spray after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at the urethane. Use a
moderate spray only. If any leaks are detected, apply
urethane as necessary.
(15) Install the windshield reveal molding and (if
used) remove the masking tape from the inner sur-
face of the glass.
(16) Install all the other previously removed com-
ponents and clean the vehicle. If necessary, refer to
the applicable installation procedures.
(17) Open windows and liftgate to prevent pres-
sure build-up while the urethane is curing.
(18) Install the rearview mirror on the bracket and
tighten the mirror setscrew to 2 Nzm (15 in-lbs)
torque.

avoid paint damage and extra clean-up time.
(2) Remove the reveal molding (Fig. 8).
(3) Make a preliminary cut around the perimeter
of the window glass along the glass edge with a razor
knife.
CAUTION: When cutting through the urethane with
a hot knife blade, do not allow the knife blade to re-
main stationary at any location.
(4) Cut the adhesive bead with a hot knife and a
hooked knife blade.
(5) Start hot knife between glass and urethane.
Next, cut the adhesive as close to the glass edge as
possible. Allow as much adhesive to remain on the
window opening flange as possible.For best cutting
results, clean the knife blade frequently with
steel wool while the blade is hot.
(6) Remove the window glass from the opening
(Fig. 8).
(7) After the hot knife blade has cooled, clean the
hot knife blade with solvent and a cloth. Sharpen the
blade with a fine-tooth file.
INSTALLATION
(1) Inspect the window opening (Fig. 8) Prime any
bare spots with urethane primer. Allow a minimum
of 18 minutes for dry time.(2) Inspect the urethane bead for high spots. Level
the bead by shaving off high spots with a razor knife.
This is necessary for a flush-fit of the window glass.
(3) Inspect the window molding. Replace the mold-
ing if damaged.
(4) Clean the outer edge of the window glass with
naphtha or a similar product.
(5) Prime the outer perimeter of the interior side of
the glass 16 mm (5/8 inch) from the edge. Use a
wipe-off type urethane primer and wipe the glass dry
after primer application.
(6) Place windshield in the opening and inspect for
gaps in the urethane. Gaps in excess of 3 mm (1/8
inch) must be filled with urethane.
(7) Adjust window glass position until it is aligned
with the opening and the adhesive.
(8) Remove the window glass and position it on a
flat surface.
(9) If the replacement window glass does not have
blackout primer:
²Attach a 25-mm (1-in) wide masking tape band
around the interior side of the glass 16 mm (5/8 in)
from the edge of the glass.
²Attach the tape only to the interior side of
the glass.
²Thoroughly mix and apply blackout primer to the
16 mm (5/8 in) surface area around the interior side
of the glass.
²Allow the primer to dry for at least 10-12 minutes.
(10) Apply a 3-mm (1/8-in) diameter bead of ure-
thane to the surface area with the blackout primer
on the interior side of the glass.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install glass immediately
after applying the adhesive. The adhesive begins to
cure within 10-15 minutes.
(11) Align the window glass with the grease pencil
alignment reference marks (or the tape strips) and
position it in the window opening.
(12) Force glass inward just enough to wet-out and
set urethane. Use care to avoid excessive squeeze-out
of adhesive.
(13) Water test with a cold water spray after in-
stallation. Do not direct high pressure streams of wa-
ter directly at the urethane. Use a moderate spray
only. If any leaks are detected, apply urethane as
necessary.
(14) Install the window reveal molding and (if
used) remove the masking tape from the inner sur-
face of the glass.
