The windshield frame is an assembly of extruded aluminum and cast aluminum components. The windshield frame is a structural assembly, and if damaged, should not be repaired, complete replacement is recommended. An attempt to repair the windshield frame may compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle, and is not recommended.

The windshield assembly is bolted and bonded (with structural adhesive), to the front hinge pillars. It is also braced to the Tunnel assembly by a bolted and bonded cross-car beam.

Replacement of the windshield assembly includes removal of the windshield, the instrument panel assembly, and the upper plenum.
