WINDSHIELD AND BACK LIGHT GLASSES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This vehicle uses two types of safety glass: (1) laminated safety plate, for the windshield, and (2) solid tempered
safety plate, for the back glass.
The windshield glass is one-piece and is directly retained in the windshield opening by the adhesive.
When replacing a cracked windshield glass, it is very important that the cause of the glass breakage be determined
and the condition corrected before a new glass is installed. Otherwise, it is possible that a small obstruction or high
spot somewhere around the windshield opening will continue to crack or break the newly installed windshield. This
is especially true when the strain on the glass caused by this obstruction is increased by such conditions as wind
pressures, extremes of temperature, motion of the vehicle, etc. The procedure for removal of the windshield
applies to the complete windshield assembly.

Important Operation - Removal
6. Windshield Glass
Remove the windshield glass, carefully following the steps
listed below :
1) Use a knife to cut through part of the adhesive caulking
material.
2) Secure one end of a piece of steel piano wire (0.02 inches
in diameter) to a piece of wood that can serve as a handle.
3) Use a pair of needle nose pliers to insert the other end of
the piano wire through the adhesive caulking material at the
edge of the windshield glass.
4) Secure the other end of the piano wire to another piece of
wood.
5) W ith the aid of an assistant, carefully move the piano wire
with a sawing motion to cut through the adhesive caulking
material around the entire circumferance of the windshield
glass.
6) Lift the windshield from the body.
7) Clean any remaining adhesive caulking material from the
area of the body which holds the windshield.
8) Use a soft rag and unleaded gasoline to wipe off any
adhesive remaining on the windshield glass.

10-6 CAB
4) Apply primer 1 #435-95 or equivalent to the body side
bonding surface. The primer should extend 25 mm (1 in.).
Apply primer #435-40 or equivalent to the windshield glass
side bonding surface.
The primer should extend 15 mm (0.6 in.) from end of the
glass.
Apply the window glass sealing adhesive 2.
If you are using an air gun, air pressure should be maintained
at 147 - 294 kpa.
Note :
Open time (1 min. or more) should be set after application
of the primer.
Bonding shall be done within 5 minutes after the sealer
has been applied.
Adjust the setting of the windshield glass with suction discs.
The center of the windshield glass should be in alignment with
the center of the windshield glass opening.
The clearance between body and upper moulding should be
within 0.5 mm (A).
Both of the clearance for RH and LH should be same. (6 mm
2 mm)
Note:
It is a good idea to perform the windshield installation
procedure from beginning to end without pausing. If you
allow time to elapse between steps, excessive amounts of
adhesive may be extruded from around the windshield.

5. Upper Moulding
1) Before installing the windshield moulding (at the upper part
of the windshield), spray hot water at a temperature of
about 140
F (60C) onto the windshield glass and the
adhesive. This will cause curing.
2) Install the upper moulding as soon as hot water has been
applied. Using a roller push moulding in until it bottoms.
4. Windshield Stopper
Do this immediately after completing the gap adjustment.
2. Side Moulding
Use unleaded gasoline and a soft cloth to wipe away any
excess adhesive.
Cure the bonding at a temperature of 68
- 86F (20 - 30C)
for twenty-four hours.
Check that the windshield does not leak water.
