• Q: How to install the windshield glass for the Coupe on 2008 Toyota Solara?

  A: Install the Coupe windshield glass by first applying Primer G to windshield glass stoppers' installation parts then waiting for at least three minutes for drying before removing any leftover material. The windshield glass requires two new stoppers which should get installed next to the glass body followed by two new body stoppers installation. Secondly you need to install two new retainers on the windshield glass followed by applying Primer G onto the windshield adhesive dams before they dry for a minimum of 3 minutes and removing any leftover material. Place double-sided tape on the outside perimeter of the windshield glass without touching D and E sections. Install the glass using a suction cup for an even contact and create matchmarks on new glass surfaces. Check the position of matchmarks when reusing the glass. After pulling off the windshield glass with a suction cup users should apply Primer M to the body section before allowing it to dry for 3 minutes and wiping away any remaining adhesive. Primer G application must be spread over the windshield glass contact area before waiting for 3 minutes drying time followed by discarding any excess residue. The windshield glass requires adhesive (Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent) that must be applied per instruction using all the adhesive before its specified time expires. Follow these steps to install the windshield glass with the help of matchmarks while pressing it softly until it reaches the vehicle body rim but maintains a tiny gap. The glass must get secured using protective tape until the adhesive shows full hardness. Primier G must be applied to the outer upper moulding contact surface of the windshield glass allowing 3-minute drying time before new moulding installation. Sometimes it is essential to examine the windshield with a leak test following adhesive hardening before applying auto glass sealer to fix any detected leaks.
