How to Install a Plymouth Windshield

The windshield on your Chrysler Plymouth only needs to be replaced when you have a stone chip or crack in the windshield that is larger than 1 inch in length. When you've removed the windshield, there is a special process that will need to be followed to install the windshield on your Plymouth. If you don't install the windshield properly, the glass won't adhere to the frame.

Instructions

1

Apply a liberal amount of urethane primer to the outside of the new windshield on the frit band. The frit band is the black strip running around the border of the glass.

2

Fit the rubber trim molding around the edge of the windshield glass.

3

Clean the frame of the vehicle where the old windshield was located by trimming the urethane on the vehicle down to 3 millimeters with a razor.

4

Clean the frame where the windshield will go with a cleaning brush. Make sure the frame is clear of debris.

5

Apply the urethane sealant to the window frame where the new windshield glass will go. Use an electric caulking gun as opposed to a standard one to get a more even bead of sealant. If the sealant is not laid properly or evenly, you may have trouble getting the glass to adhere properly, which could result in a leaky windshield.

6

Align the top, bottom and sides of the windshield to the frame of the Plymouth and press the glass into place. You may need the help of an assistant for this part because windshields for Plymouths are rather large. When aligning the windshield, it may be best to set the bottom of the windshield in place firs. Have an assistant hold it at the bottom to keep it from sliding, while you press the top in place. Allow the urethane to cure for 12 hours.
