Warning! The windshield may not be installed correctly if the seal is damaged or the glass is pushed out by air pressure when opening and closing the doors with the windows up. Leave all windows open until the windshield is installed.
Fig. 8.43. Removing the remains of the old sealant
Cut off the old seal with a razor blade so that the thickness of the remaining seal layer around the perimeter of the frame is 1-2 mm (Fig. 8.43).
If the sealant has completely separated from the body in some place, apply some primer to this place after degreasing and let it dry for about 30 minutes. Then apply a 2 mm thick layer of sealant.
Clean and degrease a strip approximately 50 mm wide around the perimeter of the windshield and the contact surface on the body.
When installing a reusable windshield, follow these steps:
Fig. 8.44. Installing pins
Attach the pins in the places marked during removal (Fig. 8.44).
Install the windshield trim.
Apply glass primer to glass and body primer to body and trim, allow primer to dry for approximately 30 minutes.

Caution! Do not allow dirt or grease to get on the contact surfaces, do not touch the contact surfaces. Otherwise, the primer will not have sufficient adhesion to the glass and body surfaces, which may lead to leakage.
Fig. 8.46. Scheme of applying sealant to the glass surface
The original article is on (MAZbook.ru)
Apply sealant to the glass surface as shown in Figure 8.46.
Insert the pins into the body, then install the windshield.
Press the windshield pins into the tabs on the body.
Fig. 8.47. The size of the protrusion gap
Apply pressure around the perimeter of the glass so that the size of the gap of the glass edge protrusion corresponds to the standard (Fig. 8.47).
Install components in the reverse order of removal
Allow the sealant to cure completely.
Full polymerization time of the sealant: 24 hours.
