The windshield can often become unusable very unexpectedly for the driver. Even the slightest pebble from under the wheel of a car in front can seriously damage it, not to mention all kinds of accidental scratches and chips. In this case, it is necessary to replace the windshield with a new one as soon as possible.
Necessary
New rubber band, key cord, silicone cream, rope (long), sealant, anticorrosive and new windshield
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to get the old key-cord (otherwise - "lock"), which holds the glass.
Step 2
After that, you need one person to press as gently as possible on the glass from the car's interior. The second person at this time must hold the glass from the outside so that it does not suddenly fly out and break on the hood.
Step 3
After the old glass is removed, it is necessary to check for rust and smudges under the sealing gum. If there is, then you need to thoroughly clean everything and treat it with anticorrosive. After that, you should wait until the frame is dry.
Step 4
Carefully slide the new rubber seal over the new windshield according to its contours.
Step 5
Next, you need to find a groove in the outer side of the sealing gum, designed for attaching the glass to the car frame. A rope must be laid in this groove. The protruding edges of the frame should be covered with silicone to facilitate installation.
Step 6
Attach and press down the glass to the frame of the car.
Step 7
Following this, one person from inside the cabin pulls the rope inserted into the groove, and the second at this time strongly presses the glass from the outside. As a result, the elastic will fit snugly into place.
Step 8
Next, you need to reinstall the "lock" of the windshield. With its help, the gum is tightly pressed against the frame, which does not allow liquid (rain, melted snow, etc.) to get into the interior.
