2. Remove the molding (A) from the edge of the windshield (B). If necessary, cut the molding with a utility knife.
3. Pull down the front portion of the headliner (see «HEADLINER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-177458-S17683301142005053100000) ). Take care not to bend the headliner excessively, or you may crease or break it.
4. Apply protective tape (A) along the edge of the dashboard (B) and body as shown. Using an awl, make a hole through the rubber dam (C), adhesive (D), and dashboard seal (E) from inside the vehicle. Push a piece of piano wire (F) through the hole, and wrap each end around a piece of wood.
5. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A) back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano wire as close to the windshield as possible to prevent damage to the body and dashboard. Carefully cut through the rubber dam and adhesive around the entire windshield.
6. Carefully remove the windshield.
7. 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. Mask off surrounding surfaces before painting.
8. Clean the body bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep oil, grease, and water from getting on the clean surface.
9. If the old windshield is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all of the old adhesive, the fastener, the rubber dam, and the dashboard seal from the windshield. Clean the shaded portion of the windshield with alcohol where new adhesive is to be applied. Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and grease.
10. Glue the rubber dam (A), fasteners (B) and dashboard seal (C) to the inside face of the windshield (D) as shown: Be sure the rubber dam, fasteners, and dashboard seal line up with the alignment marks (E). Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied.
11. Apply primer (3M N-200, or equivalent) to the areas between the alignment marks (A), and glue the adhesive tape (B) (NITTO 501, or equivalent) to the edge of the windshield. Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied.

16. Remove the windshield.
17. With a sponge, apply a light coat of glass primer around the edge of the windshield (A) between the dam (B) and molding (C) as shown, then lightly wipe it off with gauze or cheesecloth: Apply glass primer to the molding. Do not apply body primer to the windshield, and do not get the body and glass primer sponges mixed up. Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. If you do, the adhesive may not bond to the windshield properly, causing a leak after the windshield is installed. Keep water, dust, and abrasive materials away from the primed surface.
18. With a sponge, apply a light coat of body primer to the original adhesive remaining around the windshield opening flange. Let the body primer dry for at least 10 minutes: Do not apply glass primer to the body, and be careful not to mix up the glass and body primer sponges. Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. Mask off the dashboard before painting the flange.
19. Before filling a cartridge, cut a "V" in the end of the nozzle (A) as shown.
20. Pack adhesive into the cartridge without air pockets to ensure continuous delivery. Put the cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a bead of adhesive (A) around the edge of the windshield (B) between the dam (C) and molding (D) as shown. Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
21. Use suction cups (A) to hold the windshield over the opening, align it with the alignment marks (B) made in step 15 , and set it down on the adhesive. Lightly push on the windshield until its edges are fully seated on the adhesive all the way around. Do not open or close the doors until the adhesive is dry.
22. Scrape or wipe the excess adhesive off with a putty knife or towel. To remove adhesive from a painted surface or the windshield, wipe with a soft shop towel dampened with alcohol.
23. Let the adhesive dry for at least 1 hour, then spray water over the windshield and check for leaks. Mark leaking areas, and let the windshield dry, then seal with sealant: Let the vehicle stand for at least 4 hours after 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.
24. Reinstall all remaining removed parts. Install the rearview mirror after the adhesive has dried thoroughly. Advise the customer not to do the following things for 2 to 3 days: Slam the doors with all the windows rolled up. Twist the body excessively (such as when going in and out of driveways at an angle or driving over rough, uneven roads).

12. With the door multiplex control unit still disconnected, make these input tests at the connectors. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input test prove OK, go to step 13.
13. Reconnect the door multiplex control unit and perform the following input test. If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 14.
14. If all the input tests prove OK, one of the control units must be faulty. Substitute a known-good control unit for the one that is most likely at fault, then check the system. If the system works properly, the original control unit is faulty; replace it. If there is still a malfunction, substitute a known-good control unit for the next most likely unit to be at fault, and recheck. If the system works properly, the original unit is faulty; replace it.
