NOTE:
 Put on gloves to protect your hands.
 Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive with a piano wire.
 Use seat covers to avoid damaging the seat.
 When replacing a broken windshield, a commercially available windshield cutter can be efficiently used for
cutting the adhesive. For details, follow the tool
manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Remove these items:  Windshield wiper arms (see page 22-233)
 Cowl covers (see page 20-163)
 Rearview mirror (see page 20-35)
 A-pillar trim, both sides (see page 20-69)
 Roof moldings (see page 20-165)
2. Remove the molding (A) from the upper edge of the windshield (B). If necessary, cut the molding with a
utility knife.
3. If the old windshield will be reinstalled, make alignment marks across the glass and the body
with a grease pencil.
4. Pull down the front portion of the headliner (see page 20-84). Take care not to bend the
headliner excessively, or you may crease or break
it.
5. Apply protective tape along the edge of the dashboard and the body. Make a hole with an awl
through the rubber dam and adhesive from inside
the vehicle at a corner of the windshield. Push a
piece of piano wire through the hole, and wrap
each end around a piece of wood. 6. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A)
back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano
wire as close to the windshield (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the body and the dashboard.
Carefully cut through the rubber dam and adhesive
(C) around the entire windshield.
7. Carefully remove the windshield.

21. Hold the rear window with suction cups over the
opening, align it with the alignment marks you
made in step 15, and set it down on the adhesive.
Lightly push on the rear window until its edges are
fully seated on the adhesive all the way around.
NOTE: Do not open or close any of the doors for
about an hour until the adhesive is dry.
22. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the rear window, use a soft shop towel
dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
23. After the adhesive has dried, spray water over the rear window and check for leaks. Mark the leaking
area, let the rear window dry, then seal with sealant.
Let the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after rear
window installation. If the vehicle has to be used
within the first 4 hours, it must be driven slowly.
24. Reinstall all remaining removed parts. NOTE: Advise the customer not to do the following
things for 2 to 3 days: Slam the doors with all the windows rolled up.
 Twist the body excessively (such as when going in and out of driveways at an angle or driving
over rough, uneven roads).

precautions and procedures (see page 24-13) before
doing repairs or service.
NOTE:  Follow the C-pillar trim installation procedure carefully; improper installation could cause the side
curtain airbag to deploy improperly and possibly
cause injury.
 Put on gloves to protect your hands.
 Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.
 Take care not to scratch the trim and panels.
 The front clip in the C-pillar trim (A) consists of a grommet (B) and a pin (C). The grommet expanded
with the pin secures it to the body panel (D). The
projections (E) on the pin are broken during removal,
so the clip must be replaced with a new one when the
trim is reinstalled. 1.

Remove these items:
 Rear seat cushion (see page 20-133)
 Rear seat side bolster (see page 20-134)
 Rear door opening seal, as needed (see step 3 on page 20-68)
2. Fold the seat-back forward.
3. Hit the front clip in the C-pillar trim (A) with a rubber mallet. The clip is near the triangle mark (B).
Hitting the clip breaks the projections (C) on the pin
(D) and pushes it into the grommet (E) on the body

NOTE: The clip must be replaced with a new one
when the C-pillar trim is reinstalled.
