• Q: How to remove the windshield glass on 2009 Toyota Sienna?

  A: The process to uninstall windshield glass starts by unattaching the front door opening trim Weather Strip from both left and right sides then proceeding to separate front pillar garnish from both sides and finally taking off the visor assemblies from left and right. When equipped with a sliding roof you need to take out the assist grip sub-assembly and both the visor holder together with the roof console box assembly and sunroof opening trim moulding. First detach the front wiper arms together with their head caps followed by the inner rear view mirror assembly and finally the roof headlining assembly and both front wiper arms. Both front fender to cowl side seals and the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly need to be removed from each side of the vehicle. Cut the windshield moulding outer upper with a knife while safeguarding the vehicle body and afterward remove all remaining moulding from the area. Proceed to disconnect the deicer connector when present on the system. The windshield glass removal requires interior passage of a piano wire between body and glass then tying wire ends onto wooden supports or similar blocks while using protective tape outside to prevent scratches. While removing the glass from your vehicle keep safety and paint in mind because damaged ornaments are possible then place a plastic sheet behind the piano wire for stoppage of scratches to the safety pad. The glass removal process begins by sticking the piano wire to the glass then pulling it to detach the adhesive before using stoppers to disengage it but applying a suction cup to safely extract entire adhesive residue. End the cleaning process by removing all damaged stoppers and adhesive from the glass then treating the glass perimeter with white gasoline while making sure to avoid contact with the glass itself.
