Removal and Installation
INFOID:0000000009463661
REMOVAL
1. Partially remove the headlining (front edge). Refer to INT-30, "Removal and Installation".
2. Remove inside mirror. Refer to MIR-19, "Removal and Installation"
.
3. Remove the cowl top cover. Refer to EXT-24, "Removal and Installation"
.
4. Remove roof side moldings (LH/RH). Refer to EXT-36, "Removal and Installation"
.
5. Remove windshield glass using piano wire or pow er cutting tool (A) and an inflatable pump bag (B).
• Apply a protective tape around the windshield gla ss to protect the painted surface from damage.
• If the windshield glass is to be reused, mark the body and the glass with matching marks.
• Minimum adhesive coating amount 8 +3,- 0 g/100 mm (8 +3,-0 g/3.9 in) all around.
WARNING:
When cutting the glass from the vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help pre-
vent glass splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
• Do not set or stand the glass on its ed ge. Small chips may develop into cracks.
• Apply a protective tape around the windshield glass to protect the painted surface from damage.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• If repainting near the windshield flange area, pr otect the flange adhesion area by masking the flange.
• Use a Genuine NISSAN Urethane Adhesive Kit (if availabl e) or equivalent and follow the instructions fur-
nished with it.
• Adhesive shall be continuously applied to assure watert ightness. Glass installation shall be finished within
five minutes after applying the adhesive.
• The start and finish of the urethane adhesive application should be located at the bottom to assure water-
tightness.
• While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window . This will prevent the glass from being forced out
by passenger compartment air pressure when a door is closed.
• The molding must be installed securely to the windshield glass to avoid looseness and will leave no gap.
• Inform the customer that the vehicle should rema in stationary until the urethane adhesive has completely
cured (preferably 24 hours). Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
• Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are flammable.
• The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed, and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes.
• Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid br eathing the vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled.
If affected by vapor inhalation, imme diately move to an area with fresh air.
• Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely cured may affect the performance
of the windshield in case of an accident.
CAUTION:
• Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable te rm. Shelf life of this product is limited to six
months after the date of manufacture. Carefully a dhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed
on the box or product.
• Keep primers and adhesive in a c ool, dry place. Ideally, they should be stored in a refrigerator.
• Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with their caps open or off.

REFRIGERANT
4. Press UV lamp switch (5) and check A/C system for refrigerant leakage. (Where refrigerant leakage
occurs, fluorescent leak detec tion dye appears in green color.)
WARNING:
Do not look directly into UV lamp light source.
NOTE:
• For continuous operating time of UV lamp, follow the manufacturer operating instructions.
• Illuminate piping joints from different angles using UV lamp and check that there is no leakage.
• Use a mirror in area that is difficult to see to check refrigerant leakage.
• Refrigerant leakage from evaporator can be detected by soaking cotton swab or a similar material with
drain hose water and illuminating it using UV lamp.
• Dust, dirt and packing materials adhesive used for condenser, evaporator, and other locations may fluo- resce. Be careful not to misidentify leakage.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leakage occurs and wipe off fluorescent leak detection dye. NOTE:
Completely wipe off fluorescent leak detection dy e from gaps between parts, screw threads, and others
using a cotton swab or similar materials.
6. Use a UV lamp to check that no fluorescent leak detection dye remains after finishing work.
WARNING:
Do not look directly into UV lamp light source.
NOTE:
• For continuous operating time of UV lamp, follow the manufacturer operating instructions.
• Dust, dirt, and packing materials adhesive used for condenser, evaporator, and other locations may flu-
oresce. Be careful not to misidentify leakage.
CHECK REFRIGERANT LEAKAGE USING ELECTRICAL LEAK DETECTOR
WARNING:
Do not check refrigerant leakage while the engine is running.
CAUTION:
Be careful of the following it ems so that inaccurate checks or misidentifications are avoided.
• Do not allow refrigerant vapor, shop chemical vapor s, cigarette smoke or others around the vehicle.
• Always check refrigerant leakage in a low air flow en vironment so that refrigerant may not disperse
when leakage occurs.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment or manifold gauge set (J-39183-C) to A/C service
valve.
3. Check that A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or more when temperature is 16 °C
(61 °F) or more. When pressure is lower than the specif ied value, recycle refrigerant completely and fill
refrigerant to the specified level.
NOTE:
Leakages may not be detected if A/C refrigerant pressure is 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2, 50 psi) or less when
temperature is less than 16 °C (61 °F).
4. Clean area where refrigerant leakage check is performed and check refrigerant leakage along all surfaces of pipe connections and A/C system components us ing electrical leak detector (J-41995) probe.
CAUTION:
• Continue checking when a leakag e is found. Always continue and complete checking along all
pipe connections and A/C system components for additional leakage.
• When a leakage is detected, clean leakage area using compressed air and check again.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, always clean inside of drain hose so that the
probe surface may not be exposed to water or dirt.
NOTE:
• Always check leakage starting from high-pressure side and continue to low-pressure side.
• When checking leakage of cooling unit inside, operate bl ower fan motor for 15 minutes or more at the
maximum fan speed while the engine is stopped, and then in sert electrical leak detector probe into drain
hose and hold for 10 minutes or more.
• When disconnecting shut-off valve that is connected to A/C service valve, always evacuate remaining
refrigerant so that misidentification can be avoided.
5. Repair or replace parts where refrigerant leak age is detected. (Leakage is detected but leakage area is
unknown.)
