  Q: How to remove the windshield glass on Toyota Matrix?

  A:

  First remove the FR wiper arm from both sides and then remove the hood to cowl top seal followed by the cowl top ventilator louvers on each of their RH and LH sides. Secondly you need to take off the front door Weather Strips that exist on both sides and then take away both front pillar garnishes and the inner rear view mirror assembly. The first step in windshield glass removal requires detachment of the RH and LH visor assemblies, map lamp assembly and assist grip sub-assembly and visor holder. Proceed to cut the windshield moulding outside with a knife but keep the vehicle body untouched during the process. A piano wire should be inserted between the glass and vehicle body from inside the vehicle while exterior tape application protects against scratches on the windshield surface. Pull the wire backward between the glass to cut off the adhesive after securing both wire ends onto wooden blocks. The glass must be pulled off by a suction cup while preserving the maximum amount of adhesive which remains on the body. Windshield glass cleanup requires you to remove damaged stoppers and aligned adhesive then wipe the outer glass edge with white gasoline with care not to let the glass get in contact with the cleaning agent.

  Q: How to install the windshield glass on Toyota Matrix?

  A:

  Begin the windshield glass installation by applying Primer G to No. 2 windshield glass stoppers followed by a 3-minute drying period until you discard the extra substance. Position both new windshield glass stoppers of type No. 2 to the windshield pane before placing type No. 1 windshield glass stoppers to the vehicle body. Apply Primer G on the windshield glass adhesive dam's application area before the installation step which should start at the dam reference line when the material has dried for 3 minutes. Use suction cups to position the windshield glass by keeping the contact surface level as you align the matchmarks before removing the glass from the suction cups. Prime the vehicle body using Primer M on the installation area while skipping the adhesive zone until the surface becomes dry for 3 minutes. Primer G application to the adhesive region should be followed by allowing it to dry fully before applying Toyota Genuine Windshield Glass Adhesive or equivalent with a nozzle-cut to the glass surface. Attach the windshield glass through the matchmarks while letting the edges rest softly on the rim until you confirm the stoppers are locked in position and verify the desired space. You should gently push down on the glass front surface while placing protective tape across it to let the adhesive harden until it is ready to remove. Evaluate the adhesive's dryness by applying exterior water pressure. Spot any leakage and dry the affected area then apply additional adhesive before removing protective tape. The usage of the front roof headlining section should be followed by the installation sequence of visor holder and front assist grip sub-assemblies with visor assemblies and map light assemblies and front pillar garnishes and door opening trim Weather Strips and inner rear view mirror assemblies and cowl top ventilator louvers and hood to cowl top seal and front wiper arm and blade assemblies.
