Removal
1. Remove the clamps from inside the cabin.
2. Remove the trim panel near the front pillar.
3. Before removing the windshield, it is necessary to remove the wiper arms and air duct trim.
4. To remove the sealant holding the windshield, use a special tool (09861-31100).
5. If the same glass is to be installed again, installation marks (with chalk) should be applied to it and the body.
6. Using special holders (suction cups), remove the windshield.
Installation
1. Using a cutter (knife), cut off the remaining layer of sealant on the body opening to a thickness of approximately 2 mm along the entire perimeter of the opening.
Note: Do not damage the paintwork.
2. Wipe the seating surface of the opening with a sponge soaked in alcohol or a compound for removing grease stains.
3. Install the air duct cover retaining screws.
4. Center the new glass in the body opening. Apply alignment marks in four places on the body and glass.
5. Apply adhesive to the inner surface of the glass.
6. Apply a thin coat of primer "Glass primer" on the outer surface of the seal.
Note: Do not touch the damage with your hands.
7. Apply a thin layer of primer to the layer of the previous adhesive coating of the opening "Body primer". The glass should be installed 10 minutes after applying the specified composition.
8. Using a spatula, thoroughly mix the sealant with the hardener on a glass or metal plate.
Note: Before doing this, you should wipe the plate with alcohol.
9. Load the adhesive into the cartridge, install it into the syringe and apply a layer of the adhesive around the perimeter of the glass, as shown in the figure.
Note: The adhesive composition should be applied no more than 5 minutes after applying the primer.
10. Using vacuum suction cups or a special device (09861-31300) lower the glass into the opening, align it with the installation marks applied in accordance with point 4, and place the glass on the existing adhesive layer. To prevent the glass from sliding down, install two lower attachments.
11. Remove excess glue with a spatula. Fill all the cavities in the adhesive layer around the glass.
12. Check the glass for water resistance.
Run cold water over the glass so that the water flows over the edges of the glass, avoiding the water under pressure getting on the fresh layer of sealant.
13. If a leak is detected, apply sealant to these areas.
