Watch for: The leading edge cowl retainers break easily; take care to avoid damaging them.
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 that the urethane systems you are about to use are current. Windshield part numbers are FW2721, FW2722, FW2723, FW2724, FW3217 and FW3218.
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 by loosening the set screw in the mirror base and sliding the mirror off the pad.
5. Remove the two faux Phillips screw retainers from the corners.
9. There is no top molding. It is a PAAS-type underside molding.
12. Before cutting out the windshield, remove contaminants from the glass and pinchweld to prevent contact with the urethane.
13. The glass cutout is easy on this vehicle, and there is plenty of room to use a cold knife and power tool. Use a cold knife to cut out the windshield along the top. Use the tool of your choice to remove the glass from the adhesive bead on the sides and bottom. If you use a power tool, lubricate the cutting area with water. There are no gravity stops on this vehicle; use a temporary stop or tape to prevent the glass from sliding off the fresh urethane.
14. Take the windshield out of the opening using a set of vacuum cups. Make sure the vacuum cups do not overlap a crack in the glass. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation.
16. Dry fit the new glass to the opening. Mark your glass using a grease pencil or retention molding tape.
17. Place your vacuum cups on the new windshield in the appropriate location.
18. Set the windshield onto the old urethane.
19. With the windshield resting in the opening, make sure it is in the right spot.
20. Adjust both sides to the correct setting, marking the passenger side, then the driver side. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation.
21. Follow the urethane manufacturer's recommendations for installation.
22. Clean the inside of the windshield using a urethane manufacturer-recommended product. Do not touch the bonding area of the windshield after cleaning, prepping or priming it.
23. Wear powder-free Nitrile gloves to protect against harsh chemicals.
24. Apply the glass prep and primer following the urethane manufacturer's recommendations.
25. Using the tool of your choice, remove the original urethane bead, leaving 1 mm-2 mm of existing urethane on the pinchweld. Make sure there are no contaminants and do not touch the pinchweld after you have prepped the area.
26. Apply the pinchweld primer only to the areas where needed, and follow the urethane manufacturer's recommendations. Allow preps and primers to dry as recommended by the urethane manufacturer.
27. Apply a triangular bead of urethane to the same path as the freshly cut urethane on the pinchweld. Before cutting your V-notch, cut the tip off of your nozzle with a nozzle-cutter. With the cut nozzle, measure to the top of the roofline, and at 1/16-inch higher than the roofline, make a mark on the nozzle with a pen or marker. Notch the nozzle up to the marked line; this will give you the appropriate triangular bead.
28. Lift the windshield from the windshield stand or workstation using vacuum cups. Set the windshield on the urethane at the mark you made during your dry fit. Lower the driver's side of the windshield onto the urethane and line it up with the dry-fit mark; it is now in place.
29. The windshield is now ready to be decked. Press firmly to ensure a good seal.
30. Re-install the side moldings by inserting them between the glass edge and the wall of the A-pillar pinchweld.
31. Check for leaks. Use a leak detector to go over the perimeter of the windshield. If you find a leak, apply more pressure or add more urethane to the spot and ensure that the glass makes contact with the wet urethane.
32. Allow the urethane to cure according to the urethane manufacturer's recommended cure time before returning the vehicle to the customer. Warning: Disregarding the safe drive-away time that your urethane manufacturer recommends could jeopardize the structural integrity of the vehicle and the safety of its passengers.
33. You have completed the removal and replacement of the windshield.
2. If the goal is to salvage and reuse the quarter glass, then the interior moldings must be removed to facilitate disconnection of the antenna wiring.
12. Dry fit the new glass to the opening. Mark your glass using a grease pencil or retention molding tape.
13. Place your vacuum cups on the new glass in the appropriate location.
14. Set the quarter glass onto the old urethane.
15. With the glass resting in the opening, make sure it is in the right spot.
16. Adjust both sides to the correct setting. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation.
17. Follow the urethane manufacturer's recommendations for installation.
18. Clean the inside of the quarter glass using a urethane manufacturer-recommended product. Do not touch the bonding area of the glass after cleaning, prepping or priming it.
19. Wear powder-free Nitrile gloves to protect against harsh chemicals.

26. Re-install the removed parts in reverse order.
27. Check for leaks. Use a leak detector to go over the perimeter of the glass. If you find a leak, apply more pressure or add more urethane to the spot and ensure that the glass makes contact with the wet urethane.
28. Allow the urethane to cure according to the urethane manufacturer's recommended cure time before returning the vehicle to the customer.
