The first step in replacing the windshield is to remove parts such as wiper and mirrors. Fix a tape on the heating vent.
The glass is attached to the windshield frame, with the help of a rubber gasket. Also inspect the rubber gasket for damages or cracks. If damages are found, then you need to replace. Remove it by carefully slicing a knife through the edge of the gasket.
Now take the damaged glass out of the frame, by gently pushing it from inside the car. Attach the rubber gasket to the new windshield. See that thicker edge of the windshield is fixed along the inner side of the glass.
Once you fit the rubber gasket, remove the dust and rust from the dashboard and window frame. Apply some petroleum jelly to the outer side of the rubber gasket and carefully place the windshield frame from outside of the vehicle. Push the rubber gasket a bit to keep the glass in place. Remove the petroleum jelly and then re-attach the wipers and the mirrors.
