Hi. Any one have advice on installing a windshield on a 2002 E825? I have all the rubber strips and windshield but need installation directions and what adhesive to use.

Get a windshield adhesive kit from NAPA. Check out U TUBE for instructions

A tip that a windshield guy gave me… Soak the tube of windshield adhesive in a bucket of hot water for 15 to 20 minutes and it will be a lot easier to apply as it is really thick and hard to get out of the tube when cold. The heat will make it come out of the tube a lot easier…

Thanks! The trim strips were so bent and stiff and I soaked them in hot water to make them more pliable, too.
