• Q: How to remove and reinstall a windshield on 2005 Toyota Tundra?

  A: The windshield removal process starts with supporting the hood manually while you detach the hood support. Start by taking away the inner rear view mirror together with the assist grips from driver and passenger sides using a Torx(R) driver (T30 Part No. 09041-00030). Start by removing the front pillar garnish and sun visors then disconnect all connectors that have lighting functions if such features are installed in the vehicle. You can remove the sub-visors along with the front personal light using a lens and clip unscrewing method. The roof console box can be removed through connector and screw removal procedures depending on sliding roof availability. Clipping off the sun visor holders together with the front section of roof headlining and wiper arms involves nut and cap removal. A user should start the cowl top ventilator louver removal process by first unfastening the hood to cowl top seal and clips and screws. The special service tool 09806-30010 should be used to remove the front end roof side rail Weather Strip following its traction then unfasten the windshield outside moulding with screws. Standard and double cab owners need to make precise cuts on windshield outside upper moulding with a knife. The windshield glass can be removed by threading piano wire between the body and glass before securing the ends with wooden blocks as you slice the adhesive while wrapping tape around the exterior to protect it. Shape the contact surface of the body while cleaning it and minimize the removal of adhesive from its surface. After cleaning the pulled glass you should replace all broken stoppers then apply new stoppers together with a dam through double-stick tape installation. First place the glass properly then you should clean the contact surfaces before spreading Primer "M" on the body section while spreading Primer "G" on the glass edges. The technician will use Part No. 08850-00801 adhesive to mount the windshield glass followed by the moulding installation using proper adhesive securing until the substance hardens entirely. Use the designated time period to check for leakage before performing any needed repairs. The technical procedure requires installation of roof side rail Weather Strip followed by windshield outside moulding and front part of the roof side rail Weather Strip. Reinstall the cowl top ventilator louver with the wiper arms and front part of the roof headlining. You should mount sun visor holders together with the roof console box and front personal light and sub-visors and sun visors while connecting all relevant connectors. Reinstall the front pillar garnish together with assist grips that require installation using the Torx(R) driver (T30, Part No. 09041-00030) and reinstall the inner rear view mirror.
