Windshield.
1 - windshield, 2 - upper outer glass molding, 3 - windshield seal, 4 - holder.
Withdrawal
Note:
- Wear protective gloves to avoid injury to your hands.
- Use protective covers to avoid damage to vehicle surfaces.
1. Before starting to remove the windshield, you must first perform the following operations:
- Remove the front pillar trim.
- Remove an internal rear-view mirror.
- Remove the windshield wiper arms.
- Remove the sun visor and ceiling assist handles.
- Remove the windshield wiper panel trim.
2. Remove a molding and holders of a windshield, if necessary use the special tool.
3. Lower the front of the roof trim.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the front of the roof trim.
4. Using a special tool, saw through a layer of glue around the entire perimeter of the glass.
Attention: be careful not to damage the painted surfaces of the body with a knife, in case of damage, touch up with paint from the repair kit.
5. If reinstallation of a windshield is supposed, then put adjusting labels on glass and a body.
Note: Mark the glass and bodywork with chalk or the like.
6. Using a special tool, remove the windshield.
7. Check the bodywork for damage.
Installation
1. Using a knife or a special tool, carefully cut off the remnants of the old adhesive from the side of the body along the entire perimeter of the body opening to a thickness of no more than 2 mm.
Caution: Be careful not to remove any more old adhesive than necessary. Be careful not to damage the painted surfaces of the body with a knife; in case of damage, touch up with paint from the repair kit.
2. Clean the face of the body opening with a sponge moistened with alcohol or an oil and wax remover (degreaser).
3. Install windshield holders as shown.
4. Center the new windshield in the body opening. Using a felt-tip pen, mark the relative position of the glass and the body with lines at four points, as shown in the figure.
5. Apply a thin coat of primer to the surface around the periphery of the glass up to the rubber patch and then allow it to dry for 15 minutes.
Note:
- Do not apply body primer to the glass.
- Do not touch primed surfaces with your hands. Otherwise, the adhesive connection will be unreliable, which will lead to water leakage into the cabin after installing the windshield.
- Keep water, dirt and abrasive particles away from the primed surface.
6. Glue the rubber pad to the inner surface of the glass around its entire perimeter, as shown in the figure. The overlay is necessary to hold the adhesive during the installation of the glass.
7. Install the windshield molding. When installing, do not allow any gaps to form between the parts.
8. Apply a thin coat of body primer to the adhesive remaining on the body sidewall around the entire body opening. Glass must be installed within 10 minutes after applying the primer.
9. Fill a special container with glue, avoiding the formation of air pockets between layers to ensure continuous application of glue. Place the container in the injection gun (syringe) or similar tool and apply a layer of adhesive evenly around the entire perimeter of the glass.
Note: Apply the adhesive within 5 minutes of applying the primer.
10. Using vacuum suction cups or a special tool, lay the glass on the body opening, aligning the installation marks, affixed earlier in paragraph "4", and lightly press the glass evenly around the entire perimeter for complete adhesion.
11. Press a glass molding from the center of the car to the right and left columns at the same time.
- Glass thickness: 5mm
12. One hour after applying the adhesive, perform a windshield adhesive leak test. When testing for tightness by spraying cold water, be careful not to direct a strong jet of water at the new glass adhesive joints. Water should flow along the edges of the glass.
13. If water leaks are found in the interior, dry the defective area, then apply additional glue.
Note:
- After installing the windshield, leave the vehicle stationary for at least 4 hours. If for some reason it is necessary to start the operation of the car within the first 8 hours, then it is allowed to move only at a low speed.
- Ensure that the glass remains dry for 1 hour after installation.
14. After completing the installation of parts, perform the following operations:
- Install the front pillar trim.
- Install the interior rear view mirror.
- Install the windshield wiper arms.
- Install the sun visor and ceiling assist handles.
- Install the windshield wiper panel trim.
Note: Follow the instructions below for two or three days after installing the glass:
- Do not slam doors when all windows are fully closed
- Do not allow significant loads on the car body that occur when driving over rough terrain, roads with uneven surfaces and exiting curbs.
