2007 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The removal process for the windshield glass begins with unmounting all front and rear seat assemblies for manual, power, and center seats as well as double cab models. First disconnect the front wiper arms with their blades from both sides and remove the hood to cowl top seal and front fender to cowl side seals from both sides. Begin the windshield glass removal by taking off the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly in addition to both front door opening trim Weather Strips along with the upper back panel garnish and regular cab models' luggage compartment boxes. You must detach the front pillar garnishes while also removing the inner rear view mirror assembly alongside the shape and length of the roof console box assembly. Then separate visor bracket covers asbestos and plug as well as the visors and assist grip sub-assembly. Finally lower the roof headlining assembly partially. The system starts with blade removal of the rear roof drip side finish mouldings then the moulding clips before proceeding to eliminate the outside windshield moulding and upper windshield outside moulding through cautious cutting with a knife tool. The windshield glass removal process involves disconnecting the clip and connector from the windshield deicer when present along with protective tape application to the vehicle body before inserting a piano wire between glass and body to which handles are tied at the wire ends before carefully cutting through the adhesive to minimize vehicle damage. Now you can eliminate the glass panel with suction cups after disconnecting all stoppers. Clean both the windshield glass and vehicle body surface areas before preparation of the contact areas by removing unnecessary adhesive and performing surface cleaning. The installation process starts when you apply Primer G to the glass surface that will receive spacers before you install new stoppers. Install glass adhesive dams after treating them with Primer G followed by application of Primer G on the glass perimeter and contact surface before placing the upper windshield outside moulding. Users should place the glass on the vehicle body while actively securing the matchmarks and allowing the adhesive to establish complete hardness. Perform a leak test followed by application of auto glass sealer for sealed areas. Finally, reinstall the roof drip side finish moulding clips and mouldings, rear roof drip side finish mouldings, roof headlining assembly, assist grip plug and sub-assembly, visors, visor bracket covers, roof console box assembly, inner rear view mirror assembly, front pillar garnishes, luggage compartment boxes, upper back panel garnish, front door opening trim Weather Strips, cowl top ventilator louver, front fender to cowl side seals, front wiper arm and blade assemblies, and the front seat assembly for all configurations.
