Windshield Glass: Installation

2006 Mazda B4000 Base, AutomaticSECTION Installation
CAUTION:
  • When installing urethane-installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Adequate cure time is specified on the drive away chart for each urethane product as the temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the windshield.
  1. Dry fit the windshield glass and center it on the setting blocks (if equipped). Make alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil on both the glass and vehicle body.
