2007-08 Toyota Tundra Extended Cab By Gilbert Gutierrez Vehicle information Vehicle type: Four-door extended cab pickup truck NAGS numbers*: Windshield part numbers FW02724, FW02723, FW02722 or FW02721; front door glass FD23323-24 R-L; rear door glass FD23483-84 R-L; and back glass FY95054, FY95053, FB23336, FB23335 and FB23334. Helpful tools or supplies: Retention tape or a rubber hose to protect the fenders and hood; a PryBaby for molding and panel removal. Watch for: Be careful not to pull too hard on the rearview mirror harness during removal to avoid ripping the headliner. When removing or reinstalling the A-pillar trim panels, take care to avoid disturbing the curtain air-bag harness. *With permission from National Auto Glass Specifications. Call NAGS at 800/551-4012 or visit www.nags.com. Editor s note: Please see 2007-08 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab installation on Page 35 for windshield and front door glass photography. A. Windshield Preparation 1. Cover the front seats, floorboards, dash and steering wheel with a clean drop cloth or disposable plastic covers. Note: Always wear eye and hand protection when working with glass. Make sure you have the right glass and the urethane systems are current. Windshield part numbers are FW02724, FW02723, FW02722 or FW02721. 2. Remove the rearview mirror by loosening the Tork screw using a T-20 Tork screwdriver. Slide the wire-harness trim cover off the headliner. Slide the mirror off the mirror bracket in an upward motion. 3. Disconnect the wire harness from the underside of the hardware using a small flat-tip screwdriver or your fingernails. 4. Remove the windshield-wiper nuts using a wrench or socket. If the nuts are tight, loosen them with a 14-millimeter wrench and then come back with your socket. Move the wiper arm in an up-and-down motion to break it loose from the post, or use a wiper puller. Caution: Wipers can sometimes be hard to remove. To avoid stressing the post, use a wiper puller. The wipers are marked; take note to ensure proper reinstallation. 5. Using a No. 2 Phillips-tip screwdriver, remove the two plastic screw inserts on the fasteners on the outer edge of the cowling corners. There is one on the passenger s side and one on the driver s side. 6. Remove the rubber corner pieces from the corners of the cowling at the base of the windshield. Using an outward motion, pull out the rubber piece, then gently pull the rubber insert from the cowling. 7. With the hood open, push in and pop loose the six plastic tab fasteners using a No. 1 PryBaby tool from the underside. There are three fasteners on the passenger s side and three on the driver s side, with a guide pin at the center. 8. Remove the two-part cowl by sliding it in an upward-outward motion toward the engine compartment, disengaging the eight underside tabs on the front part of the cowling from the base of the windshield. Tape the hood and fender with molding-retention tape to avoid gnarling or scratching the cowling. Note: When re-installing the cowling, use a No. 1 PryBaby tool to assist in the installation of the cowling onto the bottom of the windshield. 9. If using a cold knife or power tool for cutout, remove the A- pillar trim panels, as the windshield fits close to the pinchweld. 10. Remove the door weatherstrip. 11. Remove the screw covers using a No. 2 PryBaby tool. 12. Remove the two 10-millimeter bolts hidden beneath the covers using a 10-millimeter socket-wrench driver. Pull the handle loose. 13. Remove the A-pillar trim panels using a door-panel remover or No. 2 PryBaby tool. Caution: Be careful not to disturb the curtain air-bag harness when removing or reinstalling the A-pillar trim panels. Note: Before beginning windshield removal, verify the new windshield is the correct one and the urethanes and primers are current. Never use outdated products as this could jeopardize the structural integrity of the vehicle and the safety of its passengers. Removal 14. Make sure cutting blades are sufficiently sharp. 15. Before cutting out the windshield, remove contaminants from the glass and pinchweld to prevent contact with the urethane. 16. If using a cold knife, use a 3 4-inch blade. Cut three sides; then use a long knife or power tool to cut the bottom of the windshield. Note: There are no gravity stops on this windshield. 17. If trying to save the windshield, use an Equalizer with an 8-inch blade. When using any power tool, lubricate the cutting area with water. Spray the top and sides; then make your cuts. 18. After cutting the sides and top, cut the area on the bottom portion using an Equalizer Express. Spray the bottom of the windshield with water at least 4-to-5-inches above the urethane on the glass, so the water flows down into the urethane while you make your final cut across the bottom of the windshield. Caution: Never use your head to push, as this could result in back and neck injuries. 19. Take the windshield out of the opening using a set of Installation AutoGlassmagazine.net 43

Installation vacuum cups. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation. Installation 20. After cutting the windshield out, remove contaminants such as dirt, moisture and other debris from the pinchweld. Clean the dashboard. 21. Dry fit the new glass to the opening. Mark your glass using a grease pencil or molding-retention tape. 22. Place your vacuum cups on the windshield in the appropriate location for a one-person set. 23. For driver-side setting of the windshield using a Glass Handler Kit, place the kit s elbow-setting pad on the driver s side of the hood area; then lift the windshield from the stand using the vacuum cups. 24. Reach over, place your elbow on the setting pad and set the windshield onto the old urethane. 25. With the windshield resting in the opening, make sure it is in the right spot. 26. Adjust both sides to the correct setting, marking the passenger s side, then the driver s side. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation. 27. Follow the urethane manufacturer s recommendations for installation. 28. Clean the inside of the windshield using a urethane manufacturer-recommended product; follow recommended steps. Note: Do not touch the windshield after cleaning, prepping or priming it. 29. Wear powder-free Nitrile gloves to keep off chemicals. 30. Apply the glass prep and primer, following the urethane manufacturer s recommendations. 31. Using a pinchweld-preparation tool, remove as much of the original urethane as the urethane manufacturer recommends. Note: Before removing the old urethane, make sure there are no contaminants and do not touch the pinchweld after you have prepped the area. 32. Apply the pinchweld primer only to the areas where needed, and follow the urethane manufacturer s recommendations. Allow preps and primers to dry as recommended by the urethane manufacturer. 33. Apply a triangular bead of urethane to the same path as the freshly cut urethane on the pinchweld. Note: Before cutting your V-notch with a Top Notch tool, cut the tip off of your nozzle with a nozzle cutter. With the cut nozzle, measure to the top of the roofline, and at 1 16 inch higher than the roofline, make a mark on the nozzle with a pen or marker. Notch the nozzle up to the marked line; this will give you the appropriate triangular bead. 34. Lift the windshield from the windshield stand or workstation using vacuum cups. Reach over, place your elbow on the setting pad and set the windshield on the urethane at the mark you made during dry fit. Lower the driver s side of the windshield onto the urethane and line it up with the dry-fit mark; it is now in place. 35. The windshield is now ready to be decked. Press firmly to ensure a good seal. 36. Before re-installing the parts, check for leaks. Use a leak detector to go over the perimeter of the windshield. If you find a leak, apply pressure to the spot to ensure the glass makes contact with the wet urethane. 37. Re-install the removed parts in reverse order. 38. Allow the urethane to cure according to the urethane manufacturer s recommended cure time before returning the vehicle to the customer. Warning: Disregarding the safe driveaway time that your urethane manufacturer recommends could jeopardize the structural integrity of the car and the safety of its passengers. 39. You have completed the removal and replacement of the windshield. B. Front door glass Removal 1. Make sure you have the right glass. Front door glass part numbers are FD23323-24 R-L. 2.
