• Q: How to install a windshield on 2009 Toyota Prius?

  A: First apply Primer G on the glass selection area for No. 2 windshield glass stoppers. Let it dry for 3 minutes plus then discard remaining primer. Put 2 fresh stoppers on the glass items then add the same quantity on the vehicle structure. Beginning with the glass surface where you will add the No. 2 windshield glass stoppers, apply Primer G and let it dry for 3 minutes or longer. Then peel off the adhesive section's backing and install the dam on the glass except for area A. Position the windshield glass using suction cups and line up its contact points evenly before placing matchmarks on both the glass and vehicle body. When using old glass pieces check and adjust the matchmarks. Put the glass aside and apply Primer M to the open vehicle part while waiting 3 minutes for the primer to dry. Then apply Primer G to the glass contact surface and discard any remaining primer. Place Toyota genuine windshield glass adhesive or equal product into the glass until the nozzle tip and put it into a sealer gun. Press the glass against the vehicle body surface at its marks and softly push it to the rim ensuring a thin space between glass and body until the protective tape holds the glass in place during adhesive hardening. Press the new moulding onto the Primer G surface on the glass after 3 minutes of drying and before the adhesive dries completely. Place the cowl top ventilator louver parts from both right and left sides before adding front wiper arms LH and RH, their head caps, hood to cowl top seal, and inner rear view mirror (without EC Mirror). Install the roof headlining assembly with map light assembly along with assist grip sub-assembly and its cover. Beforehand fit visor holder, visors, and front pillar garnishes including corner pieces to each front door opening trim. Take off the cowl side trim board from the right side. Next remove and reinstall the front door scuff plate on the left-hand side. Test for leaks once the adhesive solidifies and apply auto glass sealer on found areas. Finish by linking the wire to the negative terminal of the battery and setting up basic functions since several controls must reset following battery removal.
