Reusing Windshield
WARNING:
Using piano wire with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using piano wire.
CAUTION:
Because the lens for rainfall/illumination level detection is integrated with the windshield, the auto wiper/auto light systems may not operate correctly if the lens is damaged. When removing the windshield, be careful not to damage the lens. If the lens is damaged, replace the windshield.
NOTE:
Before removing the windshield from the body, mark the position of the windshield by affixing tape to the windshield and body panel.
1. Avoiding the pin on the inside of the vehicle, insert piano wire which has been cut to sufficient length.
2. Wind each end of piano wire around a bar.
NOTE:
Use a long sawing action to spread the work over the whole length of piano wire to prevent it from breaking due to localized heating.
3. Secure one end of piano wire, and while pulling the other end, cut the sealant around the windshield.
4. Pinch the pin from the inside of the vehicle and detach it.
5. Remove the windshield.
6. If the pin is damaged, remove the pin.
