Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
- Remove the cowl top. Refer to EXT-21, "Removal and Installation".
- Remove roof side molding (if equipped).Refer to EXT-29, "Removal
and Installation"
- Remove inside mirror. Refer to MIR-18, "Removal and Installation".
- Partially remove the headlining (front edge). Refer to INT-33,
"Removal and Installation".
- After removing moldings, remove glass using piano wire or power
cutting tool (A) and an inflatable pump bag (B).

- Apply a protective tape around the windshield glass to protect the
painted surface from damage.
- If the windshield glass is to be reused, mark the body and the
glass with mating marks.
WARNING: When cutting the glass from the
vehicle, always wear safety glasses and heavy gloves to help prevent glass
splinters from entering your eyes or cutting your hands.
CAUTION:
- Be careful not to scratch the glass when removing.
- Do not set or stand the glass on its edge. Small chips may
develop into cracks.
- When the windshield glass is to be reused, do not use a
cutting knife or power cutting tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
- Use a genuine Nissan Urethane Adhesive Kit (if available) or
equivalent and follow the instructions furnished with it.
- While the urethane adhesive is curing, open a door window. This
will prevent the glass from being forced out by passenger compartment air
pressure when a door is closed.
- The molding must be installed securely so that it is in position
and leaves no gap.
- Inform the customer that the vehicle should remain stationary
until the urethane adhesive has completely cured (preferably 24 hours).
Curing time varies with temperature and humidity.
WARNING:
- Keep heat and open flames away as primers and adhesive are
flammable.
- The materials contained in the kit are harmful if swallowed,
and may irritate skin and eyes. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
- Use in an open, well ventilated location. Avoid breathing the
vapors. They can be harmful if inhaled.
If affected by vapor inhalation,
immediately move to an area with fresh air.
- - Driving the vehicle before the urethane adhesive has completely
cured may affect the performance of the windshield in case of an
accident.
CAUTION
- Do not use an adhesive which is past its usable term. Shelf life of
this product is limited to six months after the date of manufacture.
Carefully adhere to the expiration or manufacture date printed on the
box.
- Keep primers and adhesive in a cool, dry place. Ideally, they
should be stored in a refrigerator.
- Do not leave primers or adhesive cartridge unattended with
their caps open or off.
- The vehicle should not be driven for at least 24 hours or
until the urethane adhesive has completely cured. Curing time varies
depending on temperature and humidity. The curing time will increase
under lower temperature and lower humidity.
Inspection
Repairing water Leaks for Windshield
Leaks can be repaired without removing and reinstalling glass.
If water is
leaking between the urethane adhesive material and body or glass, determine the
extent of leakage.
This can be done by applying water to the windshield area
while pushing glass outward.
To stop the leak, apply primer (if necessary)
and then urethane adhesive to the leak point.
