WINDSHIELD REMOVAL
1. In order to protect the body (paint surface), apply cloth
tape to all body areas around the installed windshield.
2. Using a sharp-point drill, make hole in the windshield
adhesive.
3. Pass the piano wire from the inside of the vehicle through
the hole.
4. Pull the piano wire alternately from the inside and outside
along the windshield to cut the adhesive.
Caution
Do not let the piano wire touch the edge of the
windshield.
5. Make mating marks on the windshield and body.
6. Use the special tool to remove the windshield.
7. Use a knife to cut away the remaining adhesive so that
the thickness is within 2 mm around the entire
circumference of the body flange.
8. Finish the flange surfaces so that they are smooth.
Caution
(1) Be careful not to remove more adhesive than is
necessary.
(2) Be careful also not to damage the paintwork on
the body surface with the knife. If the paintwork
is damaged, repair the damaged area with repair
paint or anti-rust agent.
9. When reusing the windshield, remove the adhesive still
adhering to the windshield, and clean with isopropyl
alcohol.
10. Clean the body side in the same way.
Caution
Let the cleaned places stand for 3 minutes or more,
and carry out the next procedures after they have
dried. Also, do not touch any surface that has been
cleaned.
