utes.)
2) Install new glass stoppers (2pcs.) to lower side of windshield and
new fastener to body.
When reusing wind shield, install new fastener to wind shield.
3) To determine installing position of glass to body, position glass
against body so that clearance between upper end of glass and
body is about 5 mm (0.197 in.) and clearances between each
side end (right & left) of glass and body are even. Place glass so
that lug of fastener is matched with cut in body and fit fastener.
Then mark mating marks on glass and body as shown.
Upper clearance can be adjusted by moving stoppers position.
4) Clean contact surfaces of old adhesive, paint or bare metal thor-
oughly.
If surfaces of paint or bare metal come out, apply primer for body
with caution not to apply primer to surface of adhesive remaining
on body.

glass and start installation procedure all over again.
CAUTION:
Upon completion of installation, note the following.

Do not use high pressure water.

Do not blow compressed air directly at adhesive ap-
plied part when drying.

Do not use infrared lamp or like for drying.

Sudden closing of door before adhesive is completely
set may cause glass to become loose or to come off.
Therefore, if door is opened or closed before adhesive
is completely set, make sure to open all door glasses
and use proper care.

If molding is not securely in place, hold it down with
a tape until adhesive is completely set.
