water over the windshield and check for leaks.
Mark leaking areas, and let the windshield dry, then

windshield installation. If the vehicle has to be
used within the first 4 hours, it must be driven
slowly.
• Keep the windshield dry for the first hour after
installation.

rearview mirror after the adhesive has dried
thoroughly.
