Windshield, Front

You should start the windshield sealer process by taking off both the right-hand and left-hand windshield side garnish mouldings then removing the overhead console. The left-hand and right-hand sun visors require removing after you disassemble the two screws and two visor clips. Secure the lowered front part of the headliner by inserting appropriate support materials. You should remove the cowl vent screen then apply non-alcohol glass cleaner to both exterior and interior windshield glass surfaces. Properly cut urethane adhesive applicator tips will prepare you for using a high-ratio caulk gun operated by electric or battery power to spread urethane adhesive which must create a uniform bead without openings between the adhesive and windshield. Apply urethane adhesive over the top and sides of the windshield located inside the vehicle then apply adhesive from the outside to the lower part of the windshield. The urethane adhesive needs one hour of cure time before you inspect for leaks. Additional urethane adhesive should be added if required. Reinstall the cowl vent screen then place the front part of the headliner while reattaching the left-hand and right-hand sun visors with screws. The next step will be to install the two visor clips and screws along with the overhead console and right-hand and left-hand windshield side garnish mouldings and pin-type retainers when using the convertible top configuration. Complete the process by readjusting both wiper blade and pivot arms if required.

You should start windshield resealing by removing right-hand and left-hand A-pillar trim panels followed by the overhead console. First separate the sun visors from the vehicle by unscrewing two parts and removing two clips from both left-hand and right-hand sides. Support the front part of the headliner while it rests on an appropriate backing material. Convertibles need the removal of their header trim panel as well. You must eliminate the cowl vent screen before implementing a non-alcohol based glass cleaning solution on the windshield glass interior and exterior surfaces. The urethane adhesive applicator tip requires cutting to specific dimensions before applying the adhesive through a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun in a consistent bead formation without gaps. It is necessary to spread urethane adhesive across the existing urethane on windshield top and sides from inside the vehicle and to apply it on the bottom from exterior of the vehicle. Inspection of the windshield glass seal must be performed when the urethane has dried to check for any leaks or tears where extra urethane adhesive may be required for addition. The windscreen cowl vent screen goes back into position and convertibles require putting back both the header trim panel as well as A-pillar trim panels. To replace the front part of the coupe headliner follows by installing sun visors with clip and screw fasteners before reattaching the overhead console and A-pillar trim elements. Finish the installation by taking required adjustments of the wiper blade and pivot arms.

Ensure the vehicle is not driven until the urethane adhesive has cured, as specified in the drive away chart based on temperature and humidity.

Cut the applicator tip to specification and apply the adhesive in a continuous bead, ensuring no gaps.

Remove the urethane adhesive from the original glass.

Start at the bottom corner of the windshield glass.
