• Q: How to install windshield glass on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: A proper installation of windshield glass begins with cleaning damaged stoppers and adhesive from the glass while preventing glass surface damage. Clean the outer edge with a non-residue solvent and keep away from the surface completely afterward. The vehicle body requires cleaning through surface shaping with a knife to eliminate rough adhesive without harming the body structure followed by a shop rag cloth cleanup. The windshield glass needs Primer G placed on its application area before users install two new No. 2 stoppers when the primer has dried for at least three minutes. The vehicle body should receive two new No. 1 stoppers in the same installation process. Distribute Primer G to the application zone of the windshield outside moulding and adhesive dam and let it dry before fitting both parts. Install the windshield glass with suction cups while keeping the contact surfaces even and matchmarks properly aligned and avoid applying Primer M to the body where adhesive will be placed. After cutting the cartridge nozzle, apply Toyota Genuine Windshield Glass Adhesive or equivalent to the glass before placing the windshield glass into position while maintaining proper alignment and pressing it gently along the rim. Installers should check stoppers together with clearance and softly push the windshield front after firmly securing the glass with tape until the adhesive solidifies while the vehicle remains untouched for the designated time. Inspect for possible leakages through water testing followed by adhesive application if needed before taking off the protective tape. Reinstall 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, reconnect the negative battery terminal with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf), and inspect the SRS warning light.
