• Q: How to install the windshield glass for a hatchback on 2010 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The first step of windshield glass installation for a hatchback requires a scraper to eliminate damaged stoppers, dam and adhesive from the glass surface followed by outer circumference cleaning with non-residue solvent and avoidance of handling the glass afterward. The vehicle contact surface requires knife shaping to remove rough adhesive followed by a shop rag and cloth cleaning of both surfaces. Install two new stoppers to the vehicle body then apply Primer G to their installation areas before primer drying occurs for at least three minutes. The remaining primer must be discarded. Apply Primer G to both the glass edge and contact surface before placing the molding onto the windshield glass after a 3 minutes drying period. The installation part of new dams should receive Primer G application followed by drying time before double-sided tape installation. The windshield glass installation requires suction cups that position it with a level contact surface before removing the glass to apply Primer M and wait for drying. Use Primer G on the windshield glass edges and contact areas before cutting the cartridge nozzle for adhesive (Part No. 08850-00801 or equivalent). Insert and position the windshield glass onto the vehicle body while matching the alignment legends then press it gently keeping a minor space between body and glass before using a scraper to eliminate excess adhesive. Perform a leak test when the adhesive has reached hardness before applying auto glass sealer to seal any detected leaks. 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, and connect the cable to the negative battery terminal with a torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf), followed by inspecting the SRS warning light.
