2007 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and install the windshield glass on 2007 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Start by removing the front door opening trim Weather Strip followed by the removal of front pillar garnish through the assistance of a screwdriver for neither assist grip plugs nor screws. The windshield glass removal process starts by taking out the visor assembly along with its holder and the roof console box assembly while detaching connectors from both vehicle models (sliding roof optional or required). The inner rear view mirror assembly demands removal of one torx screw during non-electro chromic assemblies but the electro chromic version needs you to detach the connector and unscrew the torx screw following mirror cover dismantling. First detach the wiper arms with their 2 caps and nuts and then proceed to the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly by removing the hood to cowl top seal and 6 clips and 8 screws. The special service tool 09806-30010 allows workers to pull off the roof side rail Weather Strip before unscrewing the 8 windshield outside mouldings and keeping the outer upper molding edges intact with a knife. The process to replace windshield glass begins by threading piano wire through the glass and body alignment from inside the vehicle before securing the ends to wooden blocks. Next the adhesive should be cut with care to avoid damaging paint or exterior ornaments. Prepare the body and glass contact surface by cleaning while also replacing broken No. 2 stoppers and dams with new No. 1 windshield glass stoppers and align them properly. Apply adhesive tape to the new dams before placing the windshield glass and finishing by cleaning contacts and primer "M" coating of the body until it dries. Position the glass in correct alignment before proceeding to install the windshield glass by using windshield adhesive dam and ensuring proper glass-to-body contact. Install the new windshield outside upper moulding prior to adhesive hardening then stabilize everything with protective tape. The worker must examine for leaks and fix them post-installation before adding the roof side rail Weather Strip with the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly and wiper arms and inner rear view mirror assembly and roof console box assembly and visor holder and visor assembly and front pillar garnish and front door opening trim Weather Strip while securing and adjusting these components based on manufacturer recommendations.
