• Q: How to replace the windshield glass on 2006 Toyota Avalon?

  A: To replace the windshield glass, begin by removing the FR wiper arm & blade assembly LH, FR wiper arm & blade assembly RH, cowl top ventilator louver RH, front door opening trim Weather Strip LH, front door opening trim Weather Strip RH, front pillar garnish LH, front pillar garnish RH, assist grip sub-assembly front, assist grip sub-assembly, visor bracket cover, LH visor assembly, RH visor assembly, roof console box assembly, visor holder, inner rear view mirror stay holder cover (w/ garage door opener), rain sensor cover (w/ auto wiper), rain sensor (w/ auto wiper), sun roof opening trim moulding (w/ sliding roof), and roof headlining assembly, which can be slightly lowered without complete removal. To remove windshield glass, insert piano wires between the vehicle body and glass, attach handles to wire ends, apply protective tape on the body, and cut out the molding upper carefully to avoid body damage. The glass can then be retrieved with suction cups after releasing the stoppers and allowing maximal adhesive retention on vehicle surfaces. Start windscreen glass cleaning through stopper and adhesive removal followed by white gasoline usage on the glass outside before using cleaner and cloth to treat body adhesive. You should prepare Windshield Glass Stopper No.2 by applying Primer G to it before it dries then add two fresh stoppers to the glass surface. Executing the windshield glass stopper No.1 installation requires you to first attach two new stoppers on the vehicle body and then apply the windshield glass retainer and window glass adhesive dam that both receive Primer G application. After this you can position the glass by using a suction cup to create an even contact surface while marking reference points for final Primer M application to both vehicle body areas and glass edge. For glass installation use a sealer gun and adhesive (Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent) to position the glass pieces by making sure they match the reference points and applying light pressure while making sure a small space exists between the glass and vehicle body before using a scraper to remove surplus adhesive. Complete your job by adding the windshield moulding outer upper then perform a leak test before using auto glass sealer to fix any detected leaks followed by reinstalls of the rain sensor and the FR wiper arm & blade assemblies RH and LH.
