• Q: How to remove the windshield glass from a hatchback on 2010 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Starting to remove the windshield glass from the hatchback requires workers to disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal and wait for a minimum of ninety seconds to stop Air Bag activation. The "Torx" socket wrench E10 serves to remove the rear seat. You should start by removing the front wiper arm head caps and continue by taking out front wiper arm assemblies with their blades from both left and right sides. You should remove successively the hood to cowl top seal combined with the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly and left and right cowl top ventilator louvers. Begin by taking off the front door scuff plates and cowl side trim boards as well as front door opening trim Weather Strips from both sides. You should take out the roof headlining service hole cover and assist grip sub-assembly and visor assemblies with holders along with the map light assembly if they are present. The procedure requires removal of front pillar garnishes followed by a gentle lowering of the front roof headliner section while keeping it attached. As the following procedure cuts the windshield outside molding using a knife you need to remove the inner rear view mirror assembly. Methodically execute this step without causing any damage to vehicle body components. After glass protection tape is applied to the windshield edge, piano wires should be inserted between glass and body before handle attachment. Before installing the piano wire users should use a protective plastic sheet to prevent paint scratches between the wire and safety pad. Mark the vehicle body and windshield glass with matchmarks if they will be reused before using piano wire to cut the adhesive then removing the two stoppers and finally extracting the windshield glass with suction cups while preserving adhesive on the body.
