2004 Toyota Celica Windshield Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove and install a windshield on 2004 Toyota Celica?

  A: A screwdriver can remove front pillar garnish after taping its tip. Following this, repeat the same process on the other side. Perform the same steps on the remaining side of the windshield. The map light assembly installed in vehicles with static roofs needs removal through the process of lens detachment followed by screw unfastening and connector detachment. Begin with vehicles that have a sliding roof by removing the single screw which will enable you to access the cover with a moulding remover so you can disconnect the map light assembly connector. First remove sun visors and their holders and thereafter extract the inner rear view mirror according to illustration instructions. Use tools to eliminate the wiper arm head caps together with the 2 nuts and 2 wiper arms. The hood to cowl top seal and cowl top ventilator louver become removable through 4 screw and 6 clip removal before disconnecting the washer hoses. The process to replace sliding roof headlinings starts by removing the sliding roof opening trim and following with the forward section of roof headlining. Cut the windshield outside moulding with a knife while avoiding damage to the body and remove the rest of the moulding piece. Windshield glass removal requires inserting a piano wire through body and glass space and fixing it to wooden blocks. A front window defogger requires disconnecting its connector before using the piano wire to cut the adhesive while protecting paint and outside ornaments. A plastic sheet needs to be set between the piano wire and safety pad to avoid scratching and you should take out the glass while keeping maximum adhesive left on the body. To install the component you must first prepare the body's contact surface by performing removal of surface roughness then wiping it down with cleaner imbued into a cloth. Inspect and separate all damaged No.2 stoppers since you will need to clean the removed glass before starting any installation process. Install new No.1 stoppers by removing the old damaged ones then cutting off the adhesive before a thorough cleaning takes place followed by proper alignment of stoppers to ceramic notches. Put new No.2 stoppers on the glass in position with ceramic notches and place new dams through the use of double stick tape. Set the glass glass at the correct position while maintaining an even contact with the rim before creating reference marks and finishing by cleaning the glass contact surface. The Primer "M" needs to cover the visible portion of the body for at least 3 minutes before continuing with the process while preserving the adhesive area untouched. Use Primer "G" to coat the glass edge but promptly wipe off extra material before the primer becomes dry. Adhesive application must use Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent devices while operating them before the designated time elapses. Thecorrect positioning of the windshield glass depends on reference marks while the technician applies gentle pressure for contact before using a spatula to fix any adhesive issues. After applying the windshield moulding the technician should remove excess adhesive and apply protective tape until the adhesive reaches its full set. Perform a leak check on the hardening period followed by reinstallation of roof headliner parts and ventilator louver and hood seal and wiper arms and mirror components.
