• Q: How to remove and install the windshield glass on 2006 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: The first step to remove the windshield glass requires the removal of the front door opening trim Weather Strip and the front pillar garnish by disconnecting the assist grip plugins followed by unscrewing the screws. The next step involves the removal of the visor assembly together with the visor holder and roof console box assembly which can be taken out with or without a sliding roof through connector uninstallation and screw removal procedures. The inner rear view mirror assembly requires removal of the torx screw when not using an electro chromic version or requires both the mirror cover along with the connector on electro chromic versions. Begin by removing wiper arms by removing their caps and nuts then continue with the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly after taking off the hood to cowl top seal and clips. Use Special Service Tool: 09806-30010 to pull off the roof side rail Weather Strip before removing the windshield outside mouldings and the outer upper moulding by cutting them off carefully. Removing the windshield glass starts by threading piano wire into the glass's void between the glass and body then securing both ends with wooden blocks before the adhesive can be cut safely without affecting paint or exterior items. The contact surfaces must be cleaned before installing new No. 1 windshield glass stoppers and mounting No. 2 stoppers to the glass. Position windshield glass correctly before cleaning the contact areas to apply Primer "M" to the body parts and Primer "G" to the glass edges. Install the windshield glass while carefully aligning it with reference marks after applying the fixture provided in Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent. Apply gentle pressure to achieve contact. Apply protective tape to secure the new windshield moldings at the outside upper position until its adhesive becomes solid. Installation requires leak checking as well as roof side rail Weather Strip attachment followed by reassembly of the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly, wiper arms, inner rear view mirror assembly, roof console box assembly, visor holder, visor assembly, front pillar garnish, and front door opening trim Weather Strip. All components should be fastened securely and torqued following specifications.
