• Q: How to install windshield glass on 2008 Scion xB?

  A: Install the windshield glass by first using a scraper to clean the glass while scraping away damaged stoppers, dam, and adhesive yet preserving the glass then finish by washing the outer edge with non-residue solvent without touching the surface. Before installation the contact surface on the vehicle body requires knife shaping to eliminate rough adhesive while avoiding body damage followed by cleaning it with a shop rag. Place two new No. 2 stoppers into the windshield glass when the Primer G coating becomes dry for at least 3 minutes. The vehicle body requires two new installation of No. 1 stoppers. The application area of windshield outside moulding and adhesive dam requires a coat of Primer G which needs to dry for at least 3 minutes before beginning installation. Attach the windshield glass with suction cups while utilizing the proper installation surface positioning and matchmark alignment before applying Primer M to the vehicle body except where the adhesive will contact. Users must cut the cartridge nozzle of Toyota Genuine Windshield Glass Adhesive and apply this substance onto the glass before installing the windshield while maintaining proper alignment and a gentle press along the rim. The installer should apply water to test for leaks from outside the vehicle then attach adhesive if any leakage is found. Finally, remove the protective tape and proceed to install the inner rear view mirror assembly, roof headlining, front pillar garnishes, room light assembly, personal light assembly, visor holder, visor assemblies, assist grip, front door opening trim Weather Strips, cowl side trim boards, front door scuff plates, cowl top ventilator louvers, hood to cowl top seal, front wiper arm and blade assemblies, windshield wiper arm cover, and connect the cable to the negative battery terminal with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf), followed by inspecting the SRS warning light.
