Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 1-2 hours
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface, disconnect the battery if working near electrical trim, and protect painted surfaces with fender covers.
- Carefully remove the windshield trim and old gutter hardware using a trim tool and appropriate screwdrivers; retain any reusable trim pieces.
- Remove old sealant and rust from the gutter/channel and windshield flange using a wire brush and solvent; ensure surfaces are clean and dry.
- Test-fit new hardware components to confirm correct orientation and fit before applying sealant.
- Apply a continuous bead of automotive urethane or recommended sealant to the windshield flange or gutter per sealant manufacturer instructions.
- Position the gutter and install the new fasteners in the recommended sequence — hand-start all fasteners first to align components.
- Tighten fasteners progressively and evenly. If torque specs are unavailable, tighten until snug — avoid over-tightening to prevent distortion.
- Reinstall windshield trim and verify even gaps and alignment; wipe away excess sealant before it skins over.
- Allow sealant to cure per product instructions (typically 24 hours) before exposing to water; avoid driving until cure is sufficient.
- Perform a water test or road test to check for leaks and wind noise; recheck fastener tightness after initial use.
