Part: Body

This guide explains how to replace your car's windshield armed with good will and without going to a body shop. Once you have the model of your windshield and the necessary tools for the replacement, you can start the job. It is advisable to use a new seal. Start by removing the windshield wipers and the wiper arm brackets, removing any adhesive residue if present. With the old seal removed, you can extract the windshield.
