Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves
when using a razor.
If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is closed, the
resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack
preventing the proper installation of the glass. Keep the door glass
opened until the windshield installation is completed.
On vehicles with the auto wiper system, when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position after replacing the rain sensor with a new
one, the windshield condition is verified and the initial setting is
stored. Before installing a rain sensor, always remove water or dirt
from the windshield. Perform the initial setting again in the following
cases: (See RAIN SENSOR REINITIALIZATION SETTING )
The windshield is replaced and the rain sensor is reused.
The auto wiper system operates incorrectly.
