Scheme 27
- When replacing the windshield, temporarily set the windshield against the body, and place a mating mark on the windshield 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.
- Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the windshield and the body in the specified places.
- Allow the windshield to dry for at least three minutes after applying primer.
- Fill a sealant gun with adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the windshield within 30 minutes after applying the primer. NOTE: Cut the tip of the sealant gun nozzle into a V shape to simplify adhesive application.
- Align the mating marks on the windshield and the body, and lightly press the windshield evenly so that it adheres completely.
- 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.
- Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water leakage.
