This is what the glass gluing kit looks like. It consists of a tube of glue, a tube tip, an activator/cleaner and a primer.
Note: There may be slight differences in instructions for kits from different manufacturers. In this regard, when performing this operation, please refer to the instructions for the kit you purchased.
Note: It is convenient to use a steel wire to remove glued glass.
1. Lower the front door windows.
2. Remove the front pillar trims (see "Removal and installation of front body pillar trims").
3. Remove the hood (see "Removing and installing the hood").
4. Remove the windshield frame trims (see "Removing and installing windshield frame trims").
5. Remove the two adjusting wedges (one is shown, the left one).
6. Open the front door and remove the door seal from the windshield pillar.
7. Use a screwdriver to pry up the edge of the windshield side trim…
8. …and remove the cover.
9. Remove the second cover in the same way.
10. Remove the windshield seal and thoroughly clean it from dirt and sealant. If the seal is damaged or has lost elasticity, replace it.
11. Lightly pry the glass with a screwdriver and pierce the adhesive seam with a pointed tool (for example, with an awl) and pull the string through the hole.
12. For ease of use, screwdrivers can be attached to the ends of the string to serve as handles.
13. Use a string to cut the glue seam along the entire perimeter of the glass (you may need an assistant to perform this operation)...
14. ...and remove the glass from the car.
Warning: Take precautions when handling glass. If the glass is damaged, it may break unexpectedly.
15. Cut off the old seam, leaving a thin layer of glue (1.0–2.0 mm).
16. Install the seal on the new glass.
17. Apply activator...
18. ...on the edge of the glass and the window opening along the entire perimeter.
19. Apply primer around the perimeter of the glass...
20. ...and the window opening.
Caution! Do not apply primer to old adhesive residue.
21. Apply glue evenly to the window opening (layer thickness 0.5 cm) and around the perimeter of the glass.
Note: At the bottom of the windshield frame, two rubber pads are glued to the body to prevent contact between the glass and protruding body elements. Check that they are present, otherwise the new glass may be damaged.
22. Install the glass assembly with the seal on the vehicle.
23. Using adjusting wedges, achieve uniform gaps between the glass and the opening along the entire perimeter of the window.
24. Press and fix the glass in any available way (for example, using masking tape). The polymerization period of the glue is at least 2-3 hours. During this time, the car should not be exposed to any external influences. Even a sharp closing of the door can lead to an increase in air pressure in the passenger compartment and, as a result, to the glass being torn off. It is advisable to start using the car no earlier than 24 hours after the glass has been glued in.
25. Replace the rear window and side windows in the same way.
