• Q: How to install the windshield glass on 2008 Toyota Matrix?

  A: Begin installation by changing two windshield glass stoppers Number 1 into the body before applying Primer G onto the glass attachment areas of two new windshield glass stoppers Number 2. Wait at least three minutes for the primer to dry before starting. Before placing the front pillar outer dam on the window glass apply Primer G and let it dry for the same duration in the installation area at position "d.". Use a tool to level off excess adhesive from the body areas then wipe the surfaces clean with a sponge. Place the glass on the suction cups that contact every surface evenly then mark its position before removing it from the setup. Apply Primer M on the body panel surface then let it dry before coating the glass edge with Primer G prior to drying. Apply Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent adhesive into the sealer gun and use all adhesive before the expiration time. Fit the glass against the reference marks as you gently press the rim and verify the stoppers are in place and spacing is optimal. Press the windshield moulding parts into place right after installation before the adhesive sets and temporarily stick the glass in position with protective tape. Check forLeaks after the adhesive sets by securing them with sealant. Set in place the headlining assembly, visor holder, assist grip parts, map lamp, left & right visors, mirror, front pillar trim, front door seals, ventilator covers, cowl-top to hood seal, and front wiper arms consecutively.
