Lower Body Flange:





PROBLEM

A crack in the windshield caused by the glass pressing against a raised area or "bump" in the lower body flange.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Remove the windshield and check the flange just behind the passenger's-side windshield wiper pivot; you may find a 40 mm x 15 mm bump in it. If so, carefully hammer the raised area flat so it won't touch the glass.

When installing the new windshield, make sure you use only a urethane sealant/adhesive, and follow the procedure shown in Bulletin 83-022 dated August 1983.
