• Q: How to Properly Remove and Install a Windshield on 2002 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The windshield removal process begins with stripping away both front door opening trim Weather Strips and front pillar garnish by unscrewing their assist grip screws before moving to step two. Next proceed by removing the sun visors together with their holders but first take out the roof console box by unscrewing its two screws and disconnecting the wiring if the sliding roof is present; if no sliding roof exists remove the four screws and disconnect the wiring. Safeguard the inner rear view mirror then unfasten wiper arms by using tools to remove their caps and nuts. The cowl top ventilator louver needs removal through separation of the hood to cowl top seal followed by unclipping six components and unscrewing eight fixtures. You should utilize Special Service Tool: 09806-30010 to remove the roof side rail Weather Strip followed by the removal of eight screws and windshield outside mouldings. Cut the top part of the windshield moulding with a knife while protecting the body from any damage. The procedure for windshield glass removal requires piano wire insertion between body and glass which should be connected to wooden blocks before cutting the adhesive with caution towards the safety pad. Cleaning the contact area between body and glass should be followed by replacing damaged No.2 stoppers and dams together with proper alignment. Position the glass after cleaning its contact area while applying Primer "M" to the body surface which needs to dry before proceeding. Apply Primer G to the glass edge followed by cutting the adhesive cartridge tip (Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent). Insert the tip into a sealer gun and apply adhesive onto the glass surface. Relay the windshield glass while placing reference points first and then apply low pressure to establish proper contact. The remaining adhesive must be trimmed before installing the new upper moulding which should be taped in place during the adhesive setting process. Post-installation inspections should include leak checks followed by roof side rail Weather Strip attachment and the replacement of cowl top ventilator louver, wiper arms, inner rear view mirror and roof console box, sun visors, front pillar garnishes and front door opening trim Weather Strips.
