2006 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and install a windshield on 2006 Toyota Tundra?

  A: The process of removing the windshield starts with supporting the hood manually before removing the hood support. Start your windshield removal operation by taking out the inner rear view mirror then detach the assist grips on driver and passenger sides using a Torx(R) driver (T30, Part No. 09041-00030). Move to the next step by untucking the front pillar garnish along with sun visors while removing any light connectors that might exist. Pull off the sub-visors and front personal light by first unscrewing then disconnecting the connector. Owners of vehicles with sliding roofs can remove their roof console box by undoing screws and disconnecting wires while four screws are needed when no sliding roof is present. Remove caps from the front part of the roof headlining along with sun visor holders and wiper arms by uninstalling their nuts. The cowl top ventilator louver requires removal through the hood to cowl top seal and screws followed by detachment of clips. Use Special Service Tool: 09806-30010 to peel off the front section of the roof side rail Weather Strip before using the knife to cut the windshield outside moulding and upper moulding from the vehicle body piece. Winding a wire through the glass-body gap followed by block-fastened wooden caps then taping off potential scratches will permit the wire to cut adhesive till all glass can be gently extracted with maximum body adhesion retained. To set up the repairs start by cleaning and forming the body contact area while cleaning the glass and replacing damaged stoppers with new ones and using double-stick tape to install the dam. Place the glass into its proper position for full surface contact before cleaning both the glass surface and the contact area. Apply Primer "M" coating on the body surface and Primer "G" coating on glass before both substances reach their dry state. Use Part No. 08850-00801 adhesive to put in the windshield glass while also fixing the moulding into position accordingly before securing it with tape during the adhesive hardening process. When the adhesive hardens completely, check for leakage and proceed to add the roof side rail Weather Strip and put in the windshield outside moulding. Install the front section of roof side rail Weather Strip as well as cowl top ventilator louver and wiper arms by adjusting their placement before tightening all nuts to 20 N.m. Place all necessary components including sun visor holders and roof console box, front personal light and sub-visors, sun visors, front pillar garnish, assist grips as well as the inner rear view mirror using the Torx(R) driver (T30, Part No. 09041-00030).
