WINDSHIELD REMOVAL ± INTERIOR METHOD
(1) Remove inside rear view mirror.
(2) Remove instrument panel top cover. Refer to
Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Systems.
(3) Remove A-pillar trim covers.
(4) Disconnect wire connectors to windshield
defroster grid.
(5) Place protective covers over instrument panel
and hood.
(6) Using a reciprocating or oscillating power
knife, cut urethane adhesive holding the windshield
to the A-pillars, roof header and cowl pinch weld
fences. Refer to instructions provided with the equip-
ment being used.
(7) Remove windshield from vehicle.
WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before
installing windshield to avoid pressurizing the pas-
senger compartment. If a door is slammed before
urethane bonding is cured, water leaks can result.
Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure
before returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement windshield,
the urethane bonding material on the windshield
fence should be smooth and consistent to theshape of the replacement windshield. The support
spacers should be cleaned and properly installed
on weld studs or repair screws at bottom of wind-
shield opening.
(1) Place replacement windshield into windshield
opening and position glass in the center of the open-
ing against the support spacers.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement windshield. If not, the pinch weld fence
must be formed to the shape of the new glass.
(3) Mark the glass at the support spacers with a
grease pencil or pieces of masking tape and ink pen
to use as a reference for installation (Fig. 3).
(4) Remove replacement windshield from wind-
shield opening.
(5) Position the windshield inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10 cm
by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks, placed par-
allel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 4).
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLVENT BASED GLASS
CLEANER TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD BEFORE
APPLYING GLASS PREP AND PRIMER. POOR
ADHESION CAN RESULT.
(6) Clean inside of windshield with ammonia based
glass cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(7) Install molding to perimeter of windshield.
(8) Apply Glass Prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1
in.) wide around perimeter of windshield and wipe
with clean/dry lint-free cloth until no streaks are vis-
ible.
(9) Apply Glass Primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide around
perimeter of windshield. Allow at least three minutes
drying time.
(10) Using a razor knife, remove as much original
urethane as possible. Do not damage paint on wind-
shield fence.
(11) Apply pinch weld primer 15 mm (.75 in.) wide
around the windshield fence. Allow at least three
minutes drying time.
(12) If a low viscosity urethane adhesive is used,
install compression spacers on the fence around the
windshield opening (Fig. 5).
(13) Apply a 10 mm (0.4 in.) bead of urethane on
center line of windshield fence.
(14) With the aid of a helper, position the wind-
shield over the windshield opening. Align the refer-
ence marks at the bottom of the windshield to the
support spacers.
(15) Slowly lower windshield glass to windshield
opening fence. Guide the molding into proper position
as necessary. Push windshield inward until molding
is flush to roof line and A-pillars (Fig. 5).

REAR WINDOW INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before
installing rear window to avoid pressurizing the
passenger compartment. If a door is slammed
before urethane bonding is cured, water leaks can
result.

before returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement rear window,
the urethane bonding material on the rear window
fence should be smooth and consistent to the
shape of the replacement glass.
(1) Place replacement glass into rear window open-
ing.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the

gate in several locations to aid installation.
(4) Remove replacement glass from liftgate open-
ing.
(5) Position the rear window inside up on a suit-
able work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by
10 cm by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks,
placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 4).
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLVENT BASED GLASS
CLEANER TO CLEAN REAR WINDOW BEFORE
APPLYING GLASS PREP AND PRIMER. POOR
ADHESION CAN RESULT.
(6) Clean inside of rear window with ammonia
based glass cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(7) Apply molding to top and bottom of rear win-
dow.
(8) Apply Glass Prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1
in.) wide around perimeter of rear window and wipe
