    5. With an assistant on the outside, pull the piano wire back and forth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano wire as close to the windshield as possible to prevent damage to the body and the dashboard. Carefully cut through the molding and the adhesive (f) around the entire windshield. (Figure 4 and 5)

    6. Carefully remove the windshield.

    7. Scrape the original adhesive smooth to a thickness of about 1 mm (0.04 in) - 2 mm (0.08 in) on the bonding surface around the entire windshield opening flange with a putty knife.

    • Remove the molding from the body.

    Installation 

    1. Clean the body bonding surface with a shop towel dampened with isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning, do not allow oil, grease, and water to contact on the clean surface.

    2. If you are reinstalling the original windshield, scrape off all of the original adhesive, the clips, the molding, and the dashboard seal from the windshield with a putty knife. Clean the bonding surfaces on the inside face and the edge of the windshield with isopropyl alcohol. Make sure the bonding surface is kept free of water, oil, and grease.

    3. Install the new clips (g) and the dashboard seal (h) with the adhesive tape on the windshield (i) as shown. (Figure 6)

    NOTE:
    • Before installing the clips and the dashboard seal, apply glass primer to the area where the adhesive tape will be applied.
    • Be careful not to touch the windshield where the adhesive will be applied.
    • Install the clips and the dashboard seal to the windshield, using the alignment marks (k) on the windshield as the guides. (Figure 6)
