• Q: How to install the windshield glass for a hatchback on 2009 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Installation of the hatchback windshield glass requires windshield glass preparation through scraping of defective stoppers, dam and adhesive followed by cleaning of the outer circumference with a non-residue solvent. Resist touching the glass surface after cleaning. The body needs a complete cleaning process which includes knife trimming of the adhesive contact points followed by wiping the body with either a shop rag or a clean cloth. Put two new stoppers onto the vehicle body while applying Primer G onto their installation surfaces as it dries for three minutes before disposing of unused primer. Primer G application on both glass edges and contact surfaces should receive a 3-minute drying time before installing the moulding onto the windshield glass surface. Use Primer G on the new dam installation parts then wait for drying before using double-sided tape for application. Place the windshield glass with suction cups while keeping the contact area flat and applying proper matchmarks before removing the glass to apply Primer M onto the vehicle body surface which needs to dry before proceeding. Apply Primer G to the windshield glass edges and contact areas before drying the substance and using adhesive (Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent) after trimming the cartridge nozzle. After loading the sealer gun you should place adhesive on the windshield glass before attaching it to the vehicle body while realigning the matchmarks and executing a gentle installation pressure. Sliders must be firmly connected and spacing should exist between body and glass before using the front surface to tack down the pieces while eliminating extra adhesive. Apply auto glass sealer to the detected leaks after checking that the adhesive has achieved full hardness. Finally, install the inner rear view mirror assembly, roof headlining, front pillar garnishes, map light assembly, visor holders, visor assemblies, assist grip sub-assembly, roof headlining service hole cover, front door opening trim Weather Strips, cowl side trim boards, front door scuff plates, cowl top ventilator louver, hood to cowl top seal, front wiper arm and blade assemblies, front wiper arm head cap, reconnect the negative battery terminal with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf), and inspect the SRS warning light.
