Replacement parts

Warning

•  Always wear gloves when using a utility knife. Using a utility knife with bare hands can cause injury.

Caution

•  If a door is opened or closed when all the door glass is fully closed, the resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack preventing the proper installation of the windshield. Keep the door glass open until the windshield installation is completed.

•  If there is damage or cracking in the windshield glass repair prohibited area, replace the windshield. If the damage or cracking in the windshield repair prohibited area is repaired, it could affect the recognition of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) or rain sensor, and the system may not operate normally.
