• Q: How to install the windshield glass on 2009 Toyota Highlander?

  A: Start the windshield glass installation by brushing Primer G onto both No. 2 windshield glass stops and waiting three minutes until discarding the unused primer. New glass stoppers belonging to the 2-piece type should be positioned onto the glass. Fix two new No. 1 windshield glass stoppers onto the vehicle body structure while using the 2-piece type configuration. The application area of the window glass adhesive dam requires Primer G application followed by a 3-minute drying period to remove excess while also installing the new adhesive dam on the dam reference line. Use suction cups to mount the windshield glass by maintaining surface level equality and marking both windscreen points with body alignment marks. The exposed body portion receives Primer M for 3 minutes and requires Primer G on the adhesive area with a controlled amount before drying time. Cut the cartridge nozzle of Toyota Genuine Windshield Glass Adhesive or equivalent and insert it into a sealer gun to apply adhesive onto the glass glass particularly around the ceramic notches. Slightly press the windshield glass to fit its rim properly while ensuring correct matchmarks alignment and stopping points are secure before examining the clearance area. Use a scraper if needed to alter the adhesive before securing the glass with protective tape until the adhesive achieves hardness while preventing vehicle operation as per the designated minimum waiting period. The adhesive needs to cure before performing a leak test using water from outside. Succeeding leak detection either allow more drying time or fill any remaining adhesive gaps before removing protective tape. Conclude the installation by properly reattaching the roof headlining assembly together with the assist grip assemblies.
