This is a slide show
of an Acura MDX front windshield replacement. The part
number used is a FW02182GBY made by Pilkington in Mexico.
To start with we mark the location of the windshield
wipers prior to removal. Next the cowl is removed since
it sits just above the windshield and would interfere
with the proper placement during installation. The molding
is pulled off and discarded since a new one comes pre-attached
to the new windshield. A clean brush is used to clean
the dirt that is in the area between the auto glass
and body. We use auto glass cut-out tools to remove
the windshield and then we place on a stand for stickers
to be transferred. The pinchweld is cleaned again with
filtered water and paper towels to remove any more dirt.
Next the old seal is trimmed down to 2 to 5 mm thin
with special care of not scratching or cutting the pinchweld.
After removal of the
old seal we make sure this area is dry of any water
prior to priming of scratches or nicks that may have
occurred during removing the old windshield and seal.
We prime this area to help prevent future rust from
forming along the contact area of the new seal. A lot
of installer skip this step either they are in a hurry,
don't care or just not aware of the consequence of not
priming. Please see our Slide
Show on Rust. While the primer is drying which normally
takes 10 minutes we prepare the new windshield by cleaning
the glass with a Scott-Brite and window cleaner to remove
contaminates from the sealant contact area. Then the
window stickers are transferred from the old glass to
the new one.
Next, we place 2 suction cups on the windshield on each side and place the new windshield in the opening for a 2 person set.
By using two people we are able to place. Within 1 hour after placement this Acura will be safe to drive by using Adco Titan Pro 1
Urethane. Hope you enjoyed our slide show and if you have any questions please call or E-mal us.
