  Q: How to remove the windshield on Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A:

  As a first step before removing the windshield disconnect the negative terminal cable from the battery and wait 90 seconds to disable the SRS system. Start windshield replacement by taking off the upper radiator support seal together with front fender main seals (both left and right sides), front wiper arms (left and right sides) then the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly. To remove windshield outside mouldings from their positions (LH and RH) apply protective tape while using a moulding remover to detach clips while safeguarding the roof drip side finish moulding clip labeled A. Then eliminate the No. 4 windshield moulding pads and drill off flanges from any No. 3 windshield outside moulding clips using a 4 mm (0.157 in.) drill bit covered with tape before vacuuming away the fragments. Remove the roof drip side finish moulding clips followed by the front assist grip sub-assembly while also removing the front pillar garnishes (LH and RH), map light assembly, visor bracket cover, visor assemblies (LH and RH) and their holder and center assemblies (LH and RH) with the inner rear view mirror assembly then partially lower the roof headlining. Begin by cutting the windshield outside moulding with a knife followed by glass removal through a method which requires protective tape on the vehicle body and piano wire placed between glass and body to which handles are tied and glass is efficiently separated maintaining paint and ornament integrity. The first step is disconnecting the windshield deicer connector if present followed by cutting through the adhesive with piano wire and stopping the stoppers before using suction cups to remove the glass. A scraper enables removal of the No. 2 windshield glass stoppers and adhesive dam while a scraper assists in taking out the front inner window moulding cover (LH). Thoroughly clean the windshield glass before removing stopper damage and eliminating adhesive and dam while using non-residue solvent on the glass edges but preventing glass contact. The cleaning process ends with removing excess adhesive from the vehicle body then cleaning its surface with a cleaner while keeping maximum adhesive on the body.

  Q: How to install the windshield glass on Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A:

  Begin windshield glass installation by putting two new stoppers onto the vehicle framework. Use Primer G on the glass area beneath No. 2 windshield glass stopper with 3-minute drying time before placing 2 new stoppers on the glass. Put Primer G on the contact area of glass and mould before leaving the open paper on the windshield. After 3 minutes clean Prep the windshield outside moulding before installation. Damp the glass surface using Primer G before placing the adhesive dam. Let it dry completely before installing the dam excluding the notched area on top. Primer G application on glass follows by its drying before you put on the front inner window molding cover. Secure the windshield glass over suction cups by leveling the surface contact and setting mark positions on parts of the glass and vehicle body. Rub off the glass and apply Primer M to the uncovered vehicle body area before drying it. Put Primer G onto the contact surface of the glass. Spread Primer G on the windshield outer moulding then dry it before you apply Toyota Genuine Windshield Glass Adhesive or its equivalent to the glass. Place the glass on the vehicle body by aligning matchmarks and pressing it slowly along the edge until it reaches a small space between surfaces before securing with protective tape until the glue dries. Check for wind leaks once the adhesive is solid and fix moisture leaks with auto glass sealant. Place the headlining back to its correct position while attaching all components that include the inner rear view mirror assembly, inner rear view mirror support part, visor systems, visor mounts, visor hardware, visor bracket cover, map light fixture, pillar trim parts, and front grip support structure. Place a 2 to 3 mm adhesive bead (3M DP-105 or equivalent) on fresh clips then apply primer to the body part before tight installation. Once 40 minutes passes you can put in the windscreen outside trim followed by installing the No. 3 clip with a riveter keeping exact contact between the head and molding. Place the No. 4 windshield pads and mount both the left and right windshield outside mouldings. Attach the cowl top ventilator louver, put in front fender main seals at both sides, put on the upper radiator seal, join the power supply to the battery -ve, and set up the wiper arms.
