The front window is a known as a windshield or windscreen.
Contents |
Interchange
- Sedan/Truck/Van windshields differ from Coupe windshield
- Sedan & Van are the same by part number (per Nissan catalog)
- Coupe differs from all others (20.5 inches ~52.1 cm top to bottom)
- Truck reportedly same as sedan (53cm top to bottom)
Trix fitted a B140 windscreen to his 1200 coupe, he used filler to make up the gaps:
Jeff fitted sedan glass to his ute after sanding the corners down:
And spacing the glass to fill the gap
Removal and Installation
- No sealant.
- Reuse the old rubber, it will work better. If you must use a new rubber, put it in enclosed space with a light bulb to get the rubber warm and soft, for example in a metal garbage pail used as a heater box
- First, fit rubber to glass
- fit a thin cord into the rubber and tape the ends to the inside of the glass
- place glass into body opening
- gently get the rubber channel all along the bottom inserted into the sheet metal lip
- Pull the cord to move the lip back, GENTLY keeping the glass in place. Be extra careful around the corners. Do not apply any pressure to the glass; just hold it in place
Use a strong thin nylon rope. It will work the smoothest around the edges. And a spray bottle with some soapy water. The nylon rope is fitted to the rubber grove, bring the two tail ends of the rope to finish at the bottom of the windscreen and definitely heat up the rubber. I used a blow dryer when the rubber was fitted to the windscreen. It will be tight but i can only recommend if its too tight pull it off and start again. With one person inside the cabin slowly pulling the nylon rope and the other person supporting from the outside. They are to follow you around as you pull the rope pushing down on the edge. If you feel to much friction on the rubber spray some water and keep going. No broken windscreens if you take your time.
Sealant
I've always put them in with no sealer and didn't have leaks. If re-using the old rubber, make sure the channel is cleaned out and the rubber is warmed (soft) first. If using new rubber, do the same.
However the Factory Service Manual instructs to use adhesive, which I believe is to mitigate any possibility of a comeback (bringing the car back to the dealer if it should happen to leak). In otherwords, a professionally applied adhesive is low-risk.
The Datsun 1200 Factory Service Manual says, AFTER installing the glass:
Using a pressure type applicator, seal inner and outer lips of rubber channel to glass with an approved weatherstrip adhesive... Seal completely around rubber channel.Do this on the exterior, both between glass and rubber, and between rubber and metal. Try not to get the sealer on the visible portion of the glass (wipe any excess away).
Question: why not put the sealant in the rubber channel before installation? Because people have ended up with leaks when putting sealant into the rubber before fitting the glass.
Use a dedicated automotive glass adhesive like "3M Auto Glass Urethane Adhesive". The FSM says use a caulking gun, so that means to force it in between the rubber and glass with more pressure than simply squeezing a tube of it and hoping it gets deep into the correct area.
