I have installed several. Most important---take your time. Get some spray adhesive [3M]. Start with installing the stays first. Then glue the windshield pieces in first, wrapping the material around the lip, then pull, gently and glue the rear, same thing glue around the metal that holds the rear glass in to. Then start pulling the sides and glue them before installing the trim that pushes on. I used a heat gun on LOW heat and took my time to remove the wrinkles. Also steam will help ALOT.
Don't forget to install insulation to the roof panel before you start. Helps the A/C and/or Heat. Install the glasses. I farmed that out. I didn't want any leaks. Also, make sure you use new gaskets. Have fun!! Merry Christmas |
