• Q: How to remove and reinstall a windshield on 2002 Toyota Tundra?

  A: To start removing the windshield begin with taking off both outer rear view mirrors followed by unscrewing the assist grip caps and using a T30 torx driver (Part No. 09041-00030 or local tool) to uninstall the screws on each side. Take out the front pillar garnish and sun visors while disconnecting their power connector from the lights. You need to take away the sub-visors and front personal light unit first by removing its lens and screws then detach the wiper arms by removing their caps and nuts. Remove the cowl louver by taking out its screws and hooks. From both sides pull down the front part of the roof side rail Weather Strip. Cut both windshield molding strips with a knife while keeping the body surface intact. To remove the windshield glass, insert piano wire between the body and glass then secure it to wooden blocks before cutting the adhesive underneath protective tape. Place a new stopper and dam on the body surface before fitting the glass correctly while cleaning both contact zones. Apply Primer M to the body while using Primer G on glass parts before filling a cartridge with adhesive Part No. 08850-00801 product (or equivalent) and fixing the windshield glass in place with correct alignment using tape until the adhesive hardens. Review for leaks after the required curing time has passed and safely place back the windshield outside panel, Weather Strip, wiper components and louver assemblies. Adjust all components to specified positions and tighten the nuts to 20 N.m. After placing the T30 torx driver in the assist grips connect the front pillar garnish sun visors sub-visors front personal light sun visor holders and front part of the roof headlining.
