8. With a knife, scrape the old adhesive smooth to a
thickness of about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding
surface around the entire windshield opening
flange:
• Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the
body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding.
• Remove the rubber dams from the body.
9. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge
dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep oil,
grease, and water from getting on the clean surface.
10. If the old windshield will be reinstalled, use a putty
knife to scrape off the old adhesive, upper clips,
and rubber dams from the windshield. Clean the
inside face and the edge of the windshield with
alcohol where new adhesive will be applied. Make
sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil,
and grease.
11. With automatic dimming rearview mirror: If the
windshield will be replaced with a new one, attach
the new rearview mirror harness cover base to the
inside face of the windshield (see page 20-66).

12. Attach the rubber dam A, and the upper clips (B)
with adhesive tape to the inside face of the
windshield (C) as shown. Before installing the
upper clips, apply primer to the area where the
adhesive tape will be applied to the inside face of
the windshield:
• Be sure the rubber dam and the upper clips line
up with the alignment marks (D).
• With the printed dots (E) on the windshield as a
guide, attach the rubber dam A to both bottom
corners of the windshield.
• Be sure the convex portion (F) of the left and right
clips toward right.
• Be careful not to touch the windshield where
adhesive will be applied.
