• Q: How to install a windshield on 2008 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Primer G requires application onto glass areas which will receive spacers followed by a 3-minute drying period before discarding remaining primer. Fit two fresh spacers on the glass following installation of two new stoppers to the body of the vehicle. Apply Primer G to the glass areas for adhesive dam installation but ensure the glass wire for 3 minutes before peeling adhesive parts off the dam and mounting them to the glass excluding the spacer region. Before mounting the windshield outside moulding users need to apply Primer G to both glass edge and contact surface while waiting for 3 minutes of drying time. Attach the glass to position by using suction cups while also making sure the contact surfaces remain level until matchmarks are created between glass and vehicle body. Start by cleaning an area of the vehicle body where the glass will go then apply Primer M for 3 minutes before using Primer G on the glass surface. Before applying windshield adhesive to the glass users should use Toyota Genuine Windshield Glass Adhesive or equivalent and execute the application within the stated timeframe. Position the glass onto the vehicle body while pressing it along the rim to achieve a small gap between both parts and secure it with protective tape until full adhesive set. Fasten the windshield deicer assembly first then add the mouldings with proper clips attached to double-sided tape. Next, fasten the mouldings with claws and clips. Afterward install the front fender and cowl side seals followed by the front wiper arm and blade units, roof headlining and visor assemblies, assist grip base with its cover and the room light pieces together with the inner mirror unit and front pillar trim pieces and front door weather stripping. The leaking process should begin when the adhesive hardens then seal the leaks with auto glass sealer before connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal.
