For the removal or installation of windshield, you
will need:
A rope,
A plastic spatula to lift the rubber seal lip,
A metal rod or screwdriver to clean the seal
groove,
A filler insertion tool,
Goggles and protective gloves.
• From inside of vehicle, remove center post

• From outside of vehicle, remove filler
located inside rubber seal to ease damaged
windshield removal.
• From inside of vehicle, push against the top
L.H. side corner of windshield for the re-
moval of a R.H. side windshield. If the L.H.
side windshield had to be removed, you
would have to push against the top R. H.

NOTE
Rubber seal may have to be replaced if it was
used on several windshield replacements.
• Spray rubber seal with soapy water to ease
windshield insertion.
• Insert rope into rubber extrusion leaving
enough length at each corner to make a
loop. Spray soapy water onto rope and
rubber extrusion (Fig. 7).
• Slide windshield into rubber seal groove
starting with the bottom curved side edge.
Using a plastic spatula, move the rubber
seal lip aside to gradually insert the wind-
shield into the groove.
• Spray soapy water on a regular basis to
ease this operation.
