NOTE:
 Put on gloves to protect your hands.
 Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive with a piano wire.
 Use seat covers to avoid damaging the seat.
 When replacing a broken windshield, a commercially available windshield cutter can be efficiently used for
cutting the adhesive. For details, follow the tool
manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Remove these items:  Windshield wiper arms (see page 22-233)
 Cowl covers (see page 20-163)
 Rearview mirror (see page 20-35)
 A-pillar trim, both sides (see page 20-69)
 Roof moldings (see page 20-165)
2. Remove the molding (A) from the upper edge of the windshield (B). If necessary, cut the molding with a
utility knife.
3. If the old windshield will be reinstalled, make alignment marks across the glass and the body
with a grease pencil.
4. Pull down the front portion of the headliner (see page 20-84). Take care not to bend the
headliner excessively, or you may crease or break
it.
5. Apply protective tape along the edge of the dashboard and the body. Make a hole with an awl
through the rubber dam and adhesive from inside
the vehicle at a corner of the windshield. Push a
piece of piano wire through the hole, and wrap
each end around a piece of wood. 6. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A)
back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano
wire as close to the windshield (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the body and the dashboard.
Carefully cut through the rubber dam and adhesive
(C) around the entire windshield.
7. Carefully remove the windshield.

6. Remove the lower rubber dam (A) from the lower
edge of the rear window (B). If necessary, cut the
rubber dam with a utility knife.
7. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A) back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano
wire as close to the rear window (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the body, and carefully cut
through adhesive (C) around the entire rear
window. 8. Carefully remove the rear window.
9. Scrape smooth the old adhesive, using a putty
knife or similar tool, until there is a thickness of
about 2 mm (0.08 in.) on the bonding surface
around the entire rear window opening flange:
 Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the body; damaged paint will interfere with proper
bonding.
 Remove the fasteners from the body.
10. Clean the body bonding surface with a shop towel dampened in isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning,
keep oil, grease, and water from getting on the
surface.
11. If the old rear window will be reinstalled, scrape off the old adhesive, the fasteners, and the rubber dam
from the rear window with a putty knife. Clean the
bonding surfaces on the inside face and the edge of
the rear window with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure
the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and
grease.
