Windshield, Front

A proper windshield resealing process begins by disassembling the cowl panel grille together with the interior/map reading lamp. Begin by placing both left-hand (LH) front door weather strips and right-hand (RH) front door weather strips to the side. Then extract LH and RH windshield side garnish mouldings. Your next step is to take off eight screws and both left-hand and right-hand sun visors together with their corresponding clips. The installation requires removal of roof opening panel garnish moulding when it is present. Support the lowered front section of the headliner with proper materials when dropping it partially. Apply non-alcohol based glass cleaner to clean all areas of the windshield glass from inside and out. Use a high-ratio caulk gun operated by electricity or batteries to apply urethane adhesive through an applicator tip with specified length for creating a uniform bead along all gaps before adding the windshield side garnish moulding and headliner. You need to unfold urethane adhesive that covers both the windshield top and sides inside the vehicle while also stretching the urethane bead along the bottom exterior edge. The urethane adhesive needs one hour to cure before checking air or water leaks on the urethane bead by adding additional adhesive when needed. The front headliner section must be readjusted before installing the roof opening accessory garnish and re-attaching sun visors with clips and screws throughout both sides. The proper placement of alignment tabs must be checked before fitting the LH and RH windshield side garnish mouldings and then the LH and RH front door weather strips and interior map reading lamp and cowl panel grille.
