Install the various components on the glass according to the installation order description corresponding to each component.
Attention.
- Do not perform work at ambient temperatures below 0°C.
- Do not perform work outdoors during rain or snowfall.
- Wear safety glasses and gloves when using piano wire.
- Do not damage the instrument panel, interior trim components, bodywork or removable components while performing work.
1. Remove the components necessary to remove the glass.
2. If necessary, remove components from the glass (replacement moldings, side moldings, side molding clips and holders, glass heater connector, antenna connector, etc.).
In cold weather, use a hair dryer to remove hardened molding. If the molding is stuck, cut it off with a knife.
3. If the glass is reused, mark the body and glass for subsequent installation.
4. Apply the tape to protect the body.
5. Cut the glue on a straight section.
1) From the salon side, pass the piano wire through the section shown in the picture and tie the wooden handles to both ends of the wire.
2) While holding the wooden handle inside the car in the position shown in the picture, pull the outer handle and cut the glue.
6. Cut away the glue on the corners.
1) Untie the handles from the wire.
2) From the salon side, pass the piano wire through the areas shown in the picture and tie the wooden handles to both ends of the wire.
3) Pull both ends of the wire and cut the glue.
7. Repeat the above procedure and cut away the glue around the entire perimeter.
Attention.
- Protect areas where piano wire touches the body or components with a plastic plate.
- While cutting the glue on the upright areas, pull the wire upwards.
8. Using rubber suction cups, remove the glass.
9. If seals and other body-side components are damaged, replace them. Also replace trim damaged during removal.
10. Remove any remaining glue, fasteners, rubber gaskets, clamps, etc. from the body.
11. Use a knife to cut off the remaining glue on the body so that its thickness around the entire perimeter is approximately 2 mm.
If the adhesive application surface on the body is damaged, apply acrylic-urethane sealant to the damaged area.
12. If the glass is reused, remove any remaining adhesive, primer, fasteners, rubber gaskets, etc. using a spatula.
13. Wipe the bonding surfaces of the glass and molding with clean gasoline or alcohol.
14. Install new trim, rubber gaskets, fasteners, clips and other components on the glass.
15. On models where the molding is installed first, install the new molding onto the glass.
16. If glass is being reused and the molding and clips are not being replaced, apply primer (3M S-100 or equivalent) to the molding and apply butyl tape.
- The figure shows the front corner glass as an example.
- Do not touch the cleaned glass and molding surfaces with your hand. If oil, water or other contaminants come into contact with these surfaces, clean them again.
- Remove the paper tape from the butyl tape immediately before installing the glass.
17. Install the glass holders, new fasteners and molding on the body.
Secure the glass holders with screws.
18. If glass is being installed on which the clips and moldings are not being replaced, remove the clips that were broken during removal and seal the holes for the clips on the body with foam tape.
19. Using rubber suction cups, install the glass on the body so that the bonded surfaces along the entire perimeter have the same width.
20. Align the glass holders with the glass edge and secure with screws.
21. Apply alignment marks to the body and glass.
If the glass is reused, make sure that the alignment marks are present. If necessary, adjust the position of the glass.
22. Using rubber suction cups, remove the glass.
23. Apply primer to the glass.
Attention.
- Do not apply body primer to glass.
- The glue is applied within 30 minutes after applying the primer.
- Apply the primer in a thin layer.
- Apply the primer so that there are no gaps.
24. Apply primer to the body.
Attention.
- Do not apply glass primer to the body.
- Close the interior trim components.
- Do not apply the primer in a thick layer.
- After applying the primer, let it dry naturally for more than 10 minutes.
25. Cut the tip of the cartridge as shown in the figure and install the cartridge on the blower.
26. Apply glue to the glass surfaces to be bonded.
Attention.
- Install the glass on the body within no more than 5 minutes after applying the glue.
- Apply glue generously to all corners.
27. Using suction cups, install the glass onto the body, aligning the marks and clamps with the holes on the body.
If the doors will be opened and closed to perform the following tasks, lower the door windows completely.
28. Press lightly on the glass around the entire perimeter so that it sticks tightly.
29. Use a spatula to remove any glue that has squeezed out and add more glue where it is missing.
If the body or glass gets dirty, clean them with clean gasoline or alcohol.
30. Install the clips on the left and right side moldings and install the moldings on the holders installed on the body.
31. If the molding is installed after the glass is glued, install it on the glass.
The center of the molding shown in the picture is aligned with the center of the glass and pressed lightly against the glass.
32. Allow the adhesive to cure for the minimum required time (see above).
33. Check for water leaks.
- If it is necessary to move the vehicle, do so with care.
- Squeeze the end of the hose and spray water on the glass.
34. If a leak is detected, dry the area and seal the leak using the sealant recommended below.
35. Install the removed components.
