INTRODUCTION TO WINDOW GLASS DIAGNOSIS

If water emerges from the following points, there is a problem in the seal or body flange.

1. Windshield
2. Rear window glass

WINDOW GLASS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a window glass fault.

1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the customer exists.
3. Find the malfunction by following the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART.
4. Verify malfunction is eliminated.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART

DIAGNOSIS

1. STEP 1. Check if the seal is faulty. Q: Is the seal faulty? YES: Repair the seal, then go to Step 3 . NO: Go to Step 2.
2. STEP 2. Check if the body flange is deformed. Q: Is the body flange deformed? YES: Replay the body flange, then go to Step 3. NO: Go to Step 3.
3. STEP 3. Retest the system. Q: Is any water leaking? YES: Return to Step 1 . NO: This diagnosis complete.

1. To protect the body (paint surface), apply protective tapes to all body areas around the installed windshield glass.
2. Make mating marks on the windshield glass and body.
3. Using piano wire. Using a sharp-point drill, make a hole in the windshield adhesive. Pass the piano wire from the inside of the vehicle through the hole. CAUTION: Do not let the piano wire touch the edge of the windshield glass. Pull the piano wire alternately from the inside and outside along the windshield glass to cut the adhesive. CAUTION: Inserting the glass adhesive knife too deeply into windshield adhesive may damage windshield glass.
4. Using glass adhesive knife Keep glass adhesive knife at right angles with the windshield glass edge, and put the blade at windshield glass edge and surface. Then cut away adhesive along the windshield glass edge.
5. Use special tool MB990480 to remove the windshield glass. CAUTION: Be careful not to remove more adhesive than is necessary. Be careful also not to damage the paint on the body surface with the knife. If the paint is damaged, repair the damaged area with touch-up paint.
6. Use a knife to cut away the remaining adhesive so that the thickness is within 2 mm (0.08 inch) around the entire circumference of the body flange.
7. Finish the flange surfaces so that they are smooth. CAUTION: Allow the cleaned area to dry for at least three minutes. Do not touch any surface that has been cleaned.
8. When reusing the windshield glass, remove the adhesive still adhering to the windshield glass, and clean with 3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent.
9. Clean the body side in the same way.

1. Use 3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent to degrease the inside and outside of the windshield glass and the body flanges.
2. Install the windshield spacer and glass stoppers to the specified positions so that there are no adrift or warped surfaces inside the windshield glass.
3. Install the adhesive tape (double-sided tape) to the windshield glass.
4. Install the windshield molding and front deck garnish retainer to the windshield glass.

Scheme 12

1. When replacing the windshield glass, temporarily set the windshield glass against the body, and place a mating mark on the windshield glass and body. CAUTION: The primer strengthens the adhesive, so be sure to apply it evenly around the entire circumference. However, a too thick application will weaken the adhesive. Do not touch the coated surface. Do not apply the primer on the remaining adhesive because of weakening the adhesive.
2. Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the windshield glass and the body in the specified places.
3. Allow the windshield glass to dry for at least 3 minutes after applying primer.
4. Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the windshield glass within 30 minutes after applying the primer. NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V shape to simplify adhesive application.
5. Align the mating marks on the windshield glass and the body, and lightly press the windshield glass evenly so that it adheres completely.
6. Use a spatula or similar tool to remove any excessive adhesive. Clean the surface with 3M™ AAD Part number 8906 or equivalent. Avoid moving the vehicle until the adhesive sets. CAUTION: Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary. When testing for water leakage, do not apply strong water pressure.
7. Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water leakage.
