WINDSHIELD
WARNING
WINDSHIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE
WITHIN 24 HOURS OF WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION.
IT TAKES AT LEAST 24 HOURS FOR URETHANE
ADHESIVE TO CURE. IF IT IS NOT CURED, THE
WINDSHIELD MAY NOT PERFORM PROPERLY IN
AN ACCIDENT.
²URETHANE ADHESIVES ARE APPLIED AS A
SYSTEM. USE GLASS CLEANER, GLASS PREPSOLVENT, GLASS PRIMER, PVC (VINYL) PRIMER
AND PINCH WELD (FENCE) PRIMER PROVIDED BY
THE ADHESIVE MANUFACTURER. IF NOT, STRUC-
TURAL INTEGRITY COULD BE COMPROMISED.
²DAIMLERCHRYSLER DOES NOT RECOMMEND
GLASS ADHESIVE BY BRAND. TECHNICIANS
SHOULD REVIEW PRODUCT LABELS AND TECHNI-
CAL DATA SHEETS, AND USE ONLY ADHESIVES
THAT THEIR MANUFACTURES WARRANT WILL
RESTORE A VEHICLE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF
FMVSS 212. TECHNICIANS SHOULD ALSO INSURE
THAT PRIMERS AND CLEANERS ARE COMPATIBLE
WITH THE PARTICULAR ADHESIVE USED.
²BE SURE TO REFER TO THE URETHANE MAN-
UFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS FOR CURING TIME
SPECIFICATIONS, AND DO NOT USE ADHESIVE
AFTER ITS EXPIRATION DATE.
²VAPORS THAT ARE EMITTED FROM THE URE-
THANE ADHESIVE OR PRIMER COULD CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY. USE THEM IN A WELL-VENTI-
LATED AREA.
²SKIN CONTACT WITH URETHANE ADHESIVE
SHOULD BE AVOIDED. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
RESULT.
²ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HAND PROTECTION
WHEN WORKING WITH GLASS.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces
from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when
removing moldings or cutting urethane around
windshield.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove wiper arms. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER ARMS -
REMOVAL)
(2) Remove headliner. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTE-
RIOR/HEADLINER - REMOVAL)
(3) Remove rear view mirror. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
INTERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL)
CAUTION: Cover instrument panel and vents to pro-
tect against splinters and damage.
(4) Using a trim stick C-4755 or equivalent,
remove windshield seal. (Fig. 3)

CAUTION: Fabricate a protection guard from 2 mm
sheet plastic or equivalent to protect rubber instru-
ment panel from damage.
(5) Place protection guard between windshield and
instrument panel seal. (Fig. 4)
(6) Using a windshield cut-out wire separate the
adhesive. (Fig. 5)(7) Carefully remove windshield.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to
cure before returning the vehicle to use.
CAUTION: Roll down the left and right front door
glass and open the rear glass slider (if available)
before installing windshield to avoid pressurizing
the passenger compartment if a door is slammed
before urethane is cured. Water leaks can result.
The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of
its old urethane bonding material. A small amount of
old urethane, approximately 1 mm in height, should
remain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely
remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint fin-
ish and bonding strength will be adversely affected.
Windshield Preparation - Installing A Previously
Installed Windshield
(1) Level old bead of windshield adhesive to a
thickness of approximately 1 mm (0.04 in.) and
remove loose adhesive. (Fig. 6)

(2) Position windshield seal onto windshield start-
ing at one corner and quickly moving up and down.

CAUTION: Never moisten windshield seal with lubri-
cants to facilitate installation.
(3) Position windshield in center of windshield
opening.
(4) Apply adhesive tape to the locations shown to
aid with final installation. (Fig. 8)(5) Verify windshield gap is parallel to with wind-
shield.
(6) Cut tape with a sharp knife and remove wind-
shield.
(7) Clean and dry area of glass to be re-glued with
a suitable glass preparation solvent and rag.
(8) Using a flash light, verify that glass primer is
without damage.
(9) Re-prime any damaged area. If old adhesive
has been exposed for more than 12 hours, entire
adhesive area needs to be re-primed. (Fig. 9)
(10) Allow primer to air dry for at least 10 min-
utes.
(11) Using a flash light, verify that glass primer is
without damage.

Windshield Preparation - Installing A New Wind-
shield
(1) Clean and check windshield for damage.
(2) Position windshield seal onto windshield start-
ing at one corner and quickly moving up and down.
(Fig. 7)
CAUTION: Never moisten windshield seal with lubri-
cants to facilitate installation.
(3) Position windshield in center of windshield
opening.
(4) Apply adhesive tape to the locations shown to
aid with final installation. (Fig. 8)

(2) Level old bead of windshield opening adhesive
to a thickness of approximately 1 mm (0.04 in.) and
remove loose adhesive. (Fig. 10)
(3) Clean and dry area of windshield opening to be
re-glued with a suitable glass preparation solvent
