15. INSTALL WINDSHIELD GLASS
a. Position the glass.
1. Using a suction cup, place the glass in the correct position.
2. Check that the whole contact surface of the glass rim is perfectly even.
3. Place reference marks between the glass and vehicle body.

HINT: When reusing the glass, check and correct the reference mark positions.

NOTE: Check that the stoppers are attached to the vehicle body correctly.
