The first step to reseal a windshield requires removal of the cowl grille and A-pillar trim panels together with bolt covers and bolt retention. Remove the panel trim from the roof opening and overhead console whenever feasible. To start the windshield resealing process remove the interior rear view mirror along with sun visors by removing their four screws and two sun visor and visor arm clips and disconnecting any present electrical connectors. Weaken the front section of the headliner by the windshield and fix it with proper support. Apply an alcohol-free cleaner to clean the urethane-glass interface on the inside windshield upper part including sides and on the outside at the bottom edge. The headliner requires Urethane Adhesive to be applied using a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun that produces a single unbroken bead while the applicator tip should be cut to meet specifications for covering all cleaned areas. The urethane application needs appropriate backfilling along with elimination of all surplus materials. Waiting for an hour serves as the minimum duration to check for air or water leakage but additional urethane adhesive can be used if needed. Installation follows the curing process where you must reinstall the headliner alongside sun visors as well as interior rear view mirror and roof opening panel trim and overhead console and finally A-pillar trim panels with bolts and covers and cowl grille. Persons should clean all glass areas of the windshield with a remedy free of alcohol.
