Remove the front pillar trims
Remove the sun visors with clips
Remove the rearview mirror.
Using one flat-head screwdriver, pry up and tuck the rubber seal behind the roof edge.
Holding it in this position, use another flat-head screwdriver to pry up and tuck the seal from the started section in any direction in the same way.
When it is tucked in at a length of about 10 cm, the first screwdriver can be remove.
Continuing in this way, we pass the roof and two side pillars.
Carefully squeeze the glass out of the opening from both sides at the same time.
If the glass was broken during an accident, then carefully remove all the fragments with a vacuum cleaner.
Remove the glass fragments from the seal with a screwdriver or improvised means.
Check the dimensions of the glass opening.
You can attach the glass without the seal and check the gap between the glass and the opening; there should be a gap of 3 – 4 mm.
If the opening does not correspond to these dimensions, then you need to set the appropriate gap using jacks.
Installing the windshield
You will need an assistant for this operation.
Lay a cloth or some other soft material on the table (or on the hood of the car).
Place the glass on it, turning it upside down. We put a rubber seal on it, starting from the corners.
We turn the glass over and insert the edging parts into the seal.
We close the joints between them with couplings-pads.
We turn the glass over again and tuck the rope into the seal slot, starting from the middle of the lower part and returning to it
An overlap of about 10 cm is made at the joint, and the ends of the rope are brought out.
The glass is applied to the opening and centered.
From inside the cabin, smoothly pull the rope, while the assistant presses the glass and holds it from shifting.
First, the entire lower part is covered, then, one by one, the pillars.
If necessary, the glass is seated by lightly tapping its upper part with the palm of the hand with a movement from above - down.
Finally, tuck the upper part of the glass in the direction from the edges to the middle
After the glass is inserted, press on the seal with your fingers
