GENERAL INFORMATION
The one-piece windshield is constructed of two
sheets of laminated glass.
The windshield glass (A) is bonded to the wind-
shield frame (E) with urethane adhesive (B) to
conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards and to provide structural support and to
provide glass retention.
WINDSHIELD REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
P R O C E D U R E S
Although the windshield removal procedure is
common, there are two installation procedures.
Short procedure
This procedure is recommended when the
windshield is removed intact and the body
windshield opening does not require repairs.
After the glass has been removed, a controlled
amount of adhesive is applied to the pinchweld
flanges and used as a base for the replacement
glass.
Extended Procedure
This procedure is recommended when there is
considerable loss of adhesion between the
original adhesive material and the body wind-
shield opening, or when the body windshield
opening requires repair.
All adhesive material must be removed from the
pinchweld flanges.
