The adoption of the new technical regulations made it impossible to undergo the annual technical inspection of vehicles with any crack in the windshield. In this connection, any stone that accidentally falls into the front windshield, and forms a crack or chip on its surface, causes considerable damage to the family budget associated with the acquisition and installation of a new windshield in a car.
It is necessary
- - nylon cord - 3 m,
- - Litol-24 grease - 10 g,
- - silicone sealant.
Instructions
Step 1
But if the motorist is not too lazy to spend 20-30 minutes of personal time, then he will be able to save a significant amount of funds intended for dismantling the old and installing the new glass purchased.
Step 2
In fact, the above procedure takes very little time from the motorist. But you can't do without an assistant in this case.
Step 3
So let's get started.
If the old windshield is subsequently intended only for recycling, then it is roughly squeezed out by feet from the inside of the passenger compartment. Sitting on the passenger seat, the glass is dismantled from its place with a blow of both legs.
Step 4
After that, the sealing gum is removed from it, the grooves of which, intended for docking with the glass and the body, are lubricated with silicone sealant. You can not regret the sealant - the excess will be squeezed out. Lack of silicone will not be able to ensure reliable sealing of the body from atmospheric moisture penetration into the car interior.
Step 5
The sealant lubricated with sealant is put on the new windshield, and a nylon cord lubricated with Litol is laid in its groove, intended for docking with the body, the ends of which are released in the lower part.
Step 6
Together with an assistant, the glass with a seal is centered on the body opening. Then the lower part of the elastic is put on the metal edge, and the assistant from the outside holds the glass, pressing it with the palms of his hands simultaneously down and against the body.
Step 7
Having moved to the salon, and making sure that the seal has "sat down" on the edge of the body, without undue haste, we remove the nylon cord previously embedded in the rubber band.
Step 8
While one is pulling the cord, the other is "planting" the glass, periodically tapping it with the palms of his hands. The blows are applied from top to bottom, as well as against the course of the car.
Step 9
If everything is done correctly, then the seal, without any special complications, completely encloses the edge of the window opening of the body, which indicates the end of the windshield installation procedure.
