INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - JR-27
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before install-
ing windshield to avoid pressurizing the passenger
compartment. If a door is slammed before urethane
bonding is cured, water leaks can result.
Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure before
returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement windshield, the
urethane bonding material on the windshield fence
should be smooth and consistent to the shape of the
replacement windshield. The support spacers should
be cleaned and properly installed on weld studs or
repair screws at bottom of windshield opening.
NOTE: The JR 27 uses adjustable support spacers
along the bottom. Once the support spacers are
set, use care not to move them.
(1) Place replacement windshield into windshield
opening and position glass in the center of the open-
ing against the support spacers.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement windshield. If not, the pinch weld fence
must be formed to the shape of the new glass.
(3) Move the support spacers as necessary so that
the top of the windshield aligns with the marks on
the header, from the original windshield.
(4) Place a piece of tape over the ratcheting por-
tion of the bottom support spacer to prevent them
from moving.
(5) Repeat Step 3 and Step 4for the opposite side
of the windshield.
(6) Mark the glass at the support spacers with a
grease pencil or pieces of masking tape and ink pen
to use as a reference for installation (Fig. 4).
(7) Remove replacement windshield from wind-
shield opening.
(8) Position the windshield inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10 cm
by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks, placed par-
allel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 5).
