INSTALLATION
(1) Trim the urethane from the pinchweld flanges.
Leave a 3 mm (0.1 in.) level base of urethane on the
pinchweld flanges.
(2) Place replacement windshield into windshield
opening and position glass in the center of the open-
ing against pinchweld flange.
(3) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement windshield. If not, the pinchweld flange
must be formed to the shape of the new glass. Next,
make alignment marks on glass and body with a
grease pencil.
STATIONARY GLASS
(4) Remove replacement windshield from wind-
shield opening.
(5) 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. 4).

(6) Clean inside of windshield with ammonia based
glass cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(7) Apply molding to perimeter of windshield. The
butt weld of the molding should be centered at the
bottom edge of the windshield.
(8) Apply Glass Prep adhesion promoter 25 mm (1
in.) wide around perimeter of windshield and wipe

ible.

weld flange surface area 6 mm (.25 in.) from the out-
board edge.
CAUTION: Be prepared to install the windshield
glass immediately after applying the adhesive. The
adhesive begins to cure within 10-15 minutes.
(12) Align the windshield with the grease pencil
marks and position windshield on pinchweld flanges.
(13) Push the windshield glass inward until the
reveal molding is seated on the windshield frame.
Use care to avoid excessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(14) Open windows and liftgate to prevent pres-
sure build-up while the urethane is curing.
(15) Starting in each corner, apply 150 mm (6 in.)
lengths of 50 mm (2 in.) masking tape spaced 250
mm (10 in.) apart to hold windshield in place until
urethane cures.
