6.1.5 Windshield
For the removal or installation of windshield, you
will need:
A rope,
A plastic spatula to lift the rubber seal lip,
A metal rod or screwdriver to clean the seal
groove,
A filler insertion tool,
Goggles and protective gloves.
From inside of vehicle, remove center post
and interior finishing panels surrounding
the windshield. In this case, we are replac-
ing the R.H. side windshield.
From outside of vehicle, remove filler
located inside rubber seal to ease dam-
aged windshield removal.
From inside of vehicle, push against the
top L.H. side corner of windshield for the
removal of a R.H. side windshield. If the
L.H. side windshield had to be removed,
you would have to push against the top R.
H. side corner.
NOTE
We are referring to the L.H and R.H. side as
viewed from the inside of the vehicle.
At the same time, another person
gradually lifts the rubber lip from the vehi-
cle exterior using a plastic spatula from
top to bottom.
Remove the entire damaged windshield
and broken glass if applicable.
If applicable, using a screwdriver or metal
rod, remove black butyl sealant residue
from rubber seal then clean with Sika 205.
Windshield Installation
NOTE
Rubber seal may have to be replaced if it was
used on several windshield replacements.
Spray rubber seal with soapy water to
ease windshield insertion.
Insert rope into rubber extrusion leaving
enough length at each corner to make a
loop. Spray soapy water onto rope and
rubber extrusion (Fig. 14).
Slide windshield into rubber seal groove
starting with the bottom curved side edge.
Using a plastic spatula, move the rubber
seal lip aside to gradually insert the wind-
shield into the groove.
Spray soapy water on a regular basis to
ease this operation.
Using the same type of plastic spatula,
repeat the same operation from inside of
vehicle, gradually inserting the windshield
into the groove.
FIGURE 14: WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION USING ROPE
NOTE
Make sure windshield bottom edge is well
inserted into the rubber seal groove before
proceeding with the sides.
Then, working from both sides of wind-
shield bottom to top, gradually move the
rubber seal lip aside to insert the wind-
shield into the groove. Use also soapy
water on the inside of vehicle to insert the
windshield into the rubber seal groove.
Insert the top curved corner then finish
with the top of windshield.
At the top of windshield, clean surface
between fiberglass and rubber extrusion
using Sika 205 (Fig. 16).
Apply Sika 221 black between fiberglass
and rubber extrusion
