Vehicle type: Four-door sedan Watch for: There are two guide pins/gravity stops on the underside of the glass that may pose a problem if your goal is to salvage the windshield.. A. Windshield Preparation 1. Cover the front seats, floorboards, dash and steering wheel with a clean drop cloth or disposable plastic covers. Note: Always wear eye and hand protection when working with glass. Make sure you have the right glass and moldings and the urethane systems are current. 2. Drape the fender with a fender cover and tape up any vulnerable areas on the vehicle to protect against possible damage. Tape up the defroster vents to prevent debris from falling into the openings. 3. Remove the rearview mirror. Using a padded tool or your hand, tap downward on the mirror to remove it from the pad. 4. Remove the windshield-wiper nut covers. 5. Remove the windshield-wiper nuts using a 15-millimeter wrench or socket. Move the wiper arm in an up-and-down motion to break it loose from the post, or use a wiper-puller. Note: Wipers can sometimes be hard to remove. Use a wiper-puller to avoid stressing the post. 6. To remove the cowl panel, first remove the two push-in-the-center-type retainers in the two corners. 7. Remove the hood bulb seal from the front leading edge of the cowl panel using a tack puller or door-pad tool. 8. Slide the cowl panel toward the engine compartment and remove. There are several hooks that slide under the lower glass edge. Put the panel in a safe place. 9. Remove the side moldings. They run the entire length of the vehicle roof and are held in place with clips that you can easily release with your fingers. Pull the molding toward the A pillar and lift up the backside with your fingers. To release the last clip on the roof near the back glass, push the molding toward the back glass. It will release without damage. 10. The top molding is an underside molding that does not come with the glass. You can use a universal underside molding as a replacement. Note: Before beginning windshield removal, verify the new windshield is the correct one and the urethanes and primers are current. Never use outdated products as this could jeopardize the structural integrity of the vehicle and the safety of its passengers. Removal 11. Make sure cutting blades are sufficiently sharp.

Preparation 1. Cover the front seats, floorboards, dash and steering wheel with a clean drop cloth or disposable plastic covers. Note: Always wear eye and hand protection when working with glass. Make sure you have the right glass and moldings and the urethane systems are current. Windshield part numbers are FW2464 and FW2461. 2. Drape the fender with a fender cover and tape up any vulnerable areas on the vehicle to protect against possible damage. Tape up the defroster vents to prevent debris from falling into the openings. 3. Remove the rearview mirror. Tap it upward and slide it off the mirror pad. 4. Remove the windshield-wiper nut covers. 5. Remove the windshield-wiper nuts using a 12-millimeter wrench or socket. Move the wiper arm in an up-and-down motion to break it loose from the post, or use a wiper puller. Note: Wipers can sometimes be hard to remove. Use a wiper puller to avoid stressing the post. 6. The three-sided reveal molding is a wraparound “U” channel type molding. Grasp the corner and separate it from Removal 9. Make sure cutting blades are sufficiently sharp. 10. Before cutting out the windshield, remove contaminants from the glass and pinchweld to prevent contact with the urethane. 11. Use the cutting tools of your choice to remove the glass from the adhesive bead. Note: When using any power tool, use plain water to lubricate the cutting area. Spray the top, sides and bottom; then make your cuts. Caution: Be careful not to hit or cut the gravity stops; mark their location with a marking pencil or molding-retention tape. 12. Take the windshield out of the opening using a set of vacuum cups. Note: Make sure the vacuum cups do not overlap a crack in the glass. 13. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation. Installation 14. After cutting the windshield out, remove contaminants such as dirt, moisture and debris from the pinchweld. Clean the dashboard. 15. Dry fit the new glass to the opening. Attach the three- sided molding to the glass edge. 16. Place your vacuum cups on the new windshield in the appropriate location and set it onto the old urethane. 17. With the windshield resting in the opening, make sure it is in the right spot. 18. Adjust both sides to the correct setting, marking the passenger’s side, then the driver’s side. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation. 19. Follow the urethane manufacturer’s recommendations for installation. 20. Clean the inside of the windshield using a urethane manufacturer-recommended product. Note: Do not touch the bonding area of the windshield after cleaning, prepping or priming it. 21. Wear powder-free Nitrile gloves to keep off chemicals. 22. Apply the glass prep and primer following the urethane manufacturer’s recommendations. 23. Using the tool of your choice, remove the original urethane bead, leaving 1-2 millimeters of existing urethane on the pinchweld. Make sure there are no contaminants and do not touch the pinchweld after prepping the area. 24. Apply the pinchweld primer only to the areas where needed, and follow the urethane manufacturer’s recommenda- tions. Allow preps and primers to dry as recommended by the urethane manufacturer.
