Remove these items: Windshield wiper arms (see «WIPER MOTOR REPLACEMENT»(ref-221005-S28268924152006022200000) ) Cowl covers (see «COWL COVER REPLACEMENT»(ref-220977-S10879455492006022200000) ) Rearview mirror (see «REARVIEW MIRROR REPLACEMENT»(ref-220966-S16295739102006022200000) ) A-pillar trim, both sides (see «A-PILLAR»(ref-220969-S20178217732006022200000) ) Roof molding (see «ROOF MOLDING REPLACEMENT»(ref-220977-S39014692892006022200000) ) Windshield side trim (see «WINDSHIELD SIDE TRIM REPLACEMENT»(ref-220977-S37853052502006022200000) )
2. Remove the molding (A) from the upper edge of the windshield (B). If necessary, cut the molding with a utility knife.
3. If the old windshield is to be reinstalled, make alignment marks across the glass and body with a grease pencil.
4. Pull down the front portion of the headliner (see «HEADLINER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(ref-220969-S29622293522006022200000) ). Take care not to bend the headliner excessively, or you may crease or break it.
5. Apply protective tape along the edge of the dashboard and body. Using an awl, make a hole through the rubber dam and adhesive from inside the vehicle at the corner portion of the windshield. Push a piece of piano wire through the hole, and wrap each end around a piece of wood.
6. 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 (B) as possible to prevent damage to the body and dashboard. Carefully cut through the rubber dam and adhesive (C) around the entire windshield.
7. Carefully remove the windshield.
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. Replace the dashboard seal with a new one.
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 is to be reinstalled, use a putty knife to scrape off all of the old adhesive, the clips and the rubber dams from the windshield. Clean the inside face and the edge 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.
11. Attach the rubber dam (A) and clips (B) with adhesive tape to the inside face of the windshield (C) (Scheme 5) Be sure the rubber dams and clips line up with the alignment marks (D). Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied. Rubber dam adhesive tape: Thickness 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) Width 4.5 mm (0.18 in.) Clips adhesive tape: Thickness 0.4 mm (0.016 in.) Width 10 mm (0.39 in.)
12. Attach the molding (A) with adhesive tape (B) to the upper edge of the windshield (C). Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied. Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied. Molding adhesive tape: Thickness 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) Width 4 mm (0.16 in.)
13. Apply primer to the molding (A), then attach the molding upper seal (B) with adhesive tape to the inside surface of the molding (Scheme 7) Seals adhesive tape: Thickness 0.16 mm (0.0063 in.) Width 7 mm (0.28 in.)
14. Set the windshield in the opening, and center it. Make alignment marks (A) across the windshield and body with a grease pencil at the four points (Scheme 8) Make sure both clips (B) contact with the edge of the body holes. Be careful not to touch the windshield where adhesive will be applied.
15. Remove the windshield.
16. With a sponge, apply a light coat of glass primer around the edge of the windshield (A) between the rubber dam (B) and molding (C) (Scheme 9), 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 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.
17. With a sponge, carefully apply a light coat of body primer to any exposed paint around the flange where new adhesive will be applied. Let the primer dry for at least 10 minutes: Do NOT apply body primer to any remaining original adhesive on the flange. Be careful not to mix up the body and glass primer sponges. Never touch the primed surfaces with your hands. Mask off the dashboard before priming the flange.
18. Cut a "V" in the end of the adhesive cartridge nozzle (A) (Scheme 11)
19. Put the adhesive cartridge in a caulking gun, and run a bead of adhesive (A) around the edge of the windshield (B) between the rubber dam (C) and molding (D) (Scheme 12) Apply the adhesive within 30 minutes after applying the glass primer. Make a slightly thicker bead at each corner.
20. Use suction cups to hold the windshield over the opening, align it with the alignment marks made in step 14, 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.
21. 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.
22. 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 sit 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.
23. Reinstall all remaining removed parts. NOTE: 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).

Rear Window Replacement

Note. Put on gloves to protect your hands. Wear eye protection when removing the glass with piano wire. Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces. Do not damage the rear window defogger grid lines and terminals.
