1.In order to protect the
body paint surface, apply a protective tape to the body area
around the windshield.
|
|
2.When separating adhesive
using a piano wire.
(1)
Use a knife to cut away the moulding.
(2)
Use a sharp-point drill to make a hole in the windshield
adhesive.
(3)
Pass the piano wire from the inside to outside of the
vehicle through the hole.
(4)
|
|
| caution |
Do not let the
piano wire touch the edge of the
windshield.
|
|
Pull the piano wire alternately from the inside and
outside along the windshield to cut
the adhesive.
|
|
3.When separating adhesive
using a glass adhesive knife.
(1)
Prepare the following recommended tool:
Tool name: Glass
adhesive knife (with blade length of 25 mm or more)
(2)
|
|
| caution |
If you lever the
glass adhesive knife, the windshield
may be damaged.
|
|
Holding the tip of the glass adhesive knife and the
windshield edge at right angles, align
the blade of the glass adhesive knife with the windshield
surface and edge, and pull the blade
parallel to the edge to separate the adhesive.
|
|
4.Make mating marks on the
windshield and body. Use the special tool window glass
holder
(MB990480) to remove the windshield.
|
|
5.
| caution |
- Be careful not to remove more adhesive
than necessary.
- Be careful not to damage the paintwork
on the body surface with the knife. If
the
paintwork is damaged, repair the damaged
area with repair paint or anti-rust
agent.
|
Use a knife to cut away the remaining adhesive so
that the adhesive thickness is within
2 mm around the entire circumference of the body
flange.
6.Finish the flange surfaces so that they
are smooth.
7.If the windshield is reused, scrape
away all traces of old adhesive, the glass stopper
and the windshield spacer.

|
|
1.
| caution |
Before proceeding to the next
operation, leave the decreased parts for
3 minutes or more to dry. Do not touch the
coated surface.
|
Use the parts cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent) to
degrease the inside circumference of
the windshield.
|
|
2.Position the tape to the
specified position of the windshield so that there is no
adrift
or warped surface inside the windshield, and install the
tape to the specified position of the
windshield.
|

|
Use the parts cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent) to
degrease the inside circumference of
the windshield and the body flanges.
|
|
|
2.
Position
the windshield spacer to the specified position of the
windshield so that there
is no adrift or warped surface inside the windshield, and
install the glass stoppers to the specified
position of the windshield.
|
|
|
1.Apply double-sided tapes
to the windshield edge.
|
|
|
2.Install the windshield
moulding to the windshield.
|
|
|
3.When replacing the
windshield, temporarily set the windshield against the body,
and
make mating marks on the windshield and body.
|
|
|
4.
| caution |
- The primer strengthens
the adhesive, so be sure to apply it.
However, a too thick application will
weaken the adhesive.
- Do not touch the coated
surface.
- Do not apply the primer on the remaining
adhesive. The adhesive strength may be
weakened.
|
Soak a sponge in the primer, and apply evenly to the
windshield and the body in the specified
places.
|
|
|
5.After applying the primer,
let it dry for 3 minutes or more.
|
|
6.Fill a sealant gun with
adhesive. Then apply the adhesive evenly around the
windshield
within 30 minutes after the primer application.
| note |
Cut the tip of the sealant gun
nozzle into a V shape to simplify adhesive
application.
|
7.
When
applying the adhesive to area "A" of the windshield, make
sure that the adhesive
bead should be 10.3 mm wide and 15.3 mm
high.
8.After applying the adhesive, align the
mating marks on the windshield and the body,
and then press the windshield gently to seat
it.
9.Use a spatula or the like to remove any
excessive adhesive. Then clean the surface
with the parts cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent). Leave the
vehicle stationary until the adhesive
sets.
10.
| caution |
- Move the vehicle carefully.
- When testing for water leakage, do not
pinch the end of the hose to spray the
water.
|
Wait 30 minutes or more, and then test for water
leakage.
