• Q: How to remove the windshield glass from a sedan on 2009 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The first step to remove a sedan windshield glass is disconnecting the negative battery cable then waiting at least 90 seconds to protect the Air Bags from activating. Commence operation by taking out front wiper arm head caps then disassembling front wiper arms and blades throughout both passenger-side and driver-side lines. You must separate both cowl side ventilator sub-assemblies with the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly and the front door scuff plates from both sides of the vehicle. You must remove from both sides the instrument panel under cover sub-assemblies in addition to the cowl side trim boards and front door opening trim Weather Strips from both sides. Proceed to eliminate the front pillar garnishes and assist grip cover combined with sub-assembly followed by removing the visor assemblies with holders from both sides along with the room light assembly and the map light assembly. Detach the inner rear view mirror while managing to leave the front roof headlining portion in its place. Start by cutting the external windshield molding with a knife to protect the vehicle body and afterward take it out. Protective tape should be applied first to the windshield glass perimeter and piano wires inserted between bodywork and glass to which handles get tied. Secure the vehicle paintwork by placing plastic between the piano wire and safety pad while also preventing any damage to vehicle ornaments. First mark both windshield glass and vehicle body when reusing the glass before using piano wire to slice through adhesive and removing the glass using suction cups and leaving maximum adhesive on the car.
