• Q: How to remove the windshield glass for the Sedan on 2008 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The initial step to remove Sedan windshield glass requires disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal while waiting 90 seconds to stop Air Bag deployment. The process starts with removing the front wiper arm head cap then continues with removing the front wiper arm assembly with its blade from each left and right side of the vehicle. The next step involves removing both cowl side ventilator sub-assemblies as well as cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly followed by front door scuff plates from both sides. The frontline team needs to remove both instrument panel under cover sub-assemblies from both sides and the cowl side trim boards together with the front door opening trim Weather Strips. The next step involves the removal of front pillar garnishes and assist grip cover and sub-assembly as well as visor assemblies and holders and room light assembly with the addition of map light assembly and inner rear view mirror. Lower the front part of the front roof headliner without taking it entirely out of position. Carefully cut the windshield outside moulding and complete the removal. Protective tape should be applied at the outer edge of the windshield glass before inserting piano wires between the body and glass to attach handles to those wires. Protect the paintwork by placing plastic between the wire and pad and prevent scratches through proper placement of protective tape along the outer glass circumference. Apply marks to windshield glass and vehicle body before using piano wire to cut adhesive and open stoppers for suction cup removal of the glass while retaining as much adhesive on the body.
