Installation
1.
Scrape the old adhesive smooth with a knife to a
thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in) on the bonding
surface around the entire windshield flange.
NOTE:
• Do not scrape down to the painted surface of
the body; damaged paint will interfere with pro-
per bonding.
• Remove all traces of the lower spacer material
from the body.
• Mask off surrounding surfaces before painting.
2.
Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge
dampened in alcohol.
NOTE: After cleaning, keep oil, grease or water
from getting on the surface.
3. If the old windshield is to be reinstalled, use a putty
knife to scrape off all traces of old adhesive, then
clean the windshield surface with alcohol where
new adhesive is to be applied.
NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free
of water, oil and grease.
CAUTION: Avoid setting the windshield on its
edges; small chips may later develop into cracks.
