20. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a
continuous bead of adhesive (A) around the edge
of the windshield (B) between the dams (C) and the
molding (D) as shown. Apply the adhesive within
30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a
slightly thicker bead at each corner. 21. Pull out the glass side adhesive backing away from
the lower rubber dam.
22. Hold the windshield with suction cups over the opening, align it with the alignment marks made in
step 15, and set it down on the adhesive. Lightly
push on the windshield 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.
23. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the windshield, wipe with a soft shop
towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
24. After the adhesive has dried, spray water over the windshield and check for leaks. Mark leaking area,
let the windshield dry, then seal with sealant. Let
the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after
windshield installation. If the vehicle has to be used
within the first 4 hours, it must be driven slowly.
25. 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).

NOTE: Make sure that there is no clearance between the sash and front lower sash.
 Do not open or close any of the doors for about an hour until the adhesive is dry.
14. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted
surface or the front corner glass, wipe with a soft

vehicle has to be used within the first 4 hours, it
must be driven slowly.

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 any surfaces.
 Do not damage the rear window defogger grid lines, window antenna grid lines, and terminals.
1. Remove these items:
 Trunk lid
 C-pillar trim (see page 20-75)
 Rear shelf (see page 20-78)
2. Disconnect the window antenna connectors (A) and rear window defogger connectors (B).
3. If the old rear window will be reinstalled, make alignment marks across the glass and the body
with a grease pencil. 4. Pull down the rear portion of the headliner (A) by
detaching the clips. Take care not to bend the
headliner excessively, or you may crease or break
it.
5. Apply protective tape along the inside and outside edges of the body. Make a hole with an awl through
the adhesive from inside the vehicle at a corner of
the rear window. Push a piece of piano wire
through the hole, and wrap each end around a
piece of wood.

6. Remove the lower rubber dam (A) from the lower
edge of the rear window (B). If necessary, cut the
rubber dam with a utility knife.
7. 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 rear window (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the body, and carefully cut
through adhesive (C) around the entire rear
window. 8. Carefully remove the rear window.
9. Scrape smooth the old adhesive, using a putty
knife or similar tool, until there is a thickness of
about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface
around the entire rear window opening flange:
 Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding.
 Remove the fasteners from the body.
10. Clean the body bonding surface with a shop towel dampened in isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning,
keep oil, grease, and water from getting on the
surface.
11. If the old rear window will be reinstalled, scrape off the old adhesive, the fasteners, and the rubber dam
from the rear window with a putty knife. Clean the
bonding surfaces on the inside face and the edge of
the rear window with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure
the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and
grease.

14. Attach the fasteners with adhesive tape to the rear
window opening flange of the body on both sides.
15. Set the rear window in the opening, and center it. Make alignment marks (A) across the rear window
and the body with a grease pencil at the four points
are shown:
 Make sure both upper clips (B) are in the body holes.
 Be careful not to touch the rear window where adhesive will be applied.
16. Remove the rear window. 17. Apply a light coat of glass primer with a sponge
applicator along the edge of the rear window (A)
between the dams (B) as shown, then lightly wipe it
off with gauze or cheesecloth:
 With the printed dots (C) on the rear window as a guide, apply the glass primer to both lower
corner portions of the rear window.
 Do not apply body primer to the rear window, and do not get body and glass primer sponge
applicators mixed up.
 Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the rear
window properly, causing a leak after the rear
window is installed.
 Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from primed surfaces.
