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 dam and fasteners 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 all of the old adhesive, the
rubber dam and the dashboard seal, from the
windshield. Clean the shaded portion of the
windshield (A) with alcohol where new adhesive
will be applied. Make sure the bonding surface is
kept free of water, oil and grease.

dashboard seal (E) to the inside face of the
windshield (F) as shown:
• Be sure the side rubber dam, lower rubber dam
and dashboard seal line up with the alignment
marks (G).
• Be sure the fasteners, upper rubber dam and the
upper side of the side rubber dam line up with
the alignment dots (H).
• Be careful not to touch the windshield where
