1.To protect the body (paint
surface), apply cloth tape to all body areas around the
installed windshield glass.
|
|
2.Using piano wire.
(1)
Use a knife to cut away the moulding.
(2)
Using a sharp-point drill, make a hole in the windshield
adhesive.
(3)
Pass the piano wire from the inside of the vehicle through
the hole.
(4)
|
|
| 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.
|
|
3.
| caution |
Inserting the glass adhesive
knife too deeply into windshield adhesive may
damage windshield
glass.
|
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.
|
|
4.Use special tool window
glass holder (MB990480) to remove the windshield
glass.
|
|
5.
| caution |
- Be careful not to remove more adhesive
than is necessary.
- Be careful also 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 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 glass is reused,
scrape away all traces of old adhesive from the
windshield glass.
|
|
|
1.
| caution |
Leave the degreased parts for
3 or more minutes to dry well,
before starting on the next step. Do not touch
the degreased parts.
|
Use parts cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent) to
degrease the inside and outside of the windshield
glass and the body flanges.
|
|
|
2.
Install
the spacer and the glass stopper to the specified position
on the windshield glass.
|
|
|
3.Position the windshield
spacer, ensuring that there are no bends or warpage inside
the windshield glass.
|
|
|
1.Apply double-sided tapes
to the concaved part of the windshield moulding.
|
|
|
2.Install the windshield
moulding to the windshield glass.
|
|
|
3.When replacing the
windshield glass, temporarily set the windshield glass
against
the body, and place a mating marks on the windshield glass
and body.
|
|
|
4.
| 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 glass and the body in
the specified places. If the old adhesive does not remain on
the body flange because of the
body panel or others, also apply the primer to the specified
body side.
|
|
|
5.Allow the windshield glass
to dry for at least three minutes after applying
primer.
|
|
6.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.
|
7.Align the mating marks on the windshield
glass and the body, and lightly press the
windshield glass evenly so that it adheres
completely.
8.Use spatula or the like to remove
any excessive adhesive. Then clean the surface with
parts cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent).
9.
| caution |
- Do not move the vehicle unless
absolutely
necessary.
- 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.
