Audi Q5

2010 Audi Q5.

 

Vehicle type: Four-door utility vehicle

NAGS numbers*: Windshield part numbers FW3097, FW3098 rain sensor, and FW3099 solar-coated, rain sensor, lane departure warning; quarter glass FQ24288-89 encapsulated, solar, and FQ24320 antenna; back glass FB24290 heated, solar

Helpful tools or supplies: Cutout wire and a second technician to assist in windshield removal; heavy tape to protect the paint; a new adhesive pad or liquid rain sensor gel to re-attach the rain sensor; double-faced tape for the rear spoiler

Watch for: The top edge of the windshield is exposed and extremely close to the pinchweld wall. Before cutting the glass out, tape the entire top edge of the vehicle pinchweld. Cut the sides and bottom first so you can stretch the urethane downward while cutting the top bead. This will require a second technician. Alternatively, use a length of wire to cut the top bead. Do not use an inside cutout tool as it might score the wall of the pinchweld.

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 moldings, and that the urethane systems you are about to use are current. Windshield part numbers are FW3097, FW3098 and FW3099.

2. Drape the fender with a fender cover and tape up any vulnerable areas on the vehicle to protect against possible damage. Tape up the defroster vents to prevent debris from falling into the openings.

3. To remove the rearview mirror, remove the decorative covers at the base, as well as the wire cover. Grasp the mirror and base, and slightly twist counterclockwise.

 

4. Before removing the rain sensor, double check operation by placing the wiper control on "intermittent” and sprinkling the exterior rain sensor area with water. It may be necessary to have the doors shut and the windows closed for the sensor to operate properly. It should wipe the glass dry and then stop.

5. To remove the rain sensor, peel it off the glass surface. It is held in place with an optically clear adhesive pad. Carefully remove the adhesive pad, starting in an area away from the lens surface. Do not touch the lens with your hands. Do not clean the lens unless you have to; to clean, use a soft lint-free towel, spraying cleaner on the towel, but not on the lens. Once you have peeled the sensor from the glass, do not disconnect it from the wiring harness or start the vehicle while the sensor is separated from the glass surface.

6. Remove the windshield-wiper nut covers. The wipers are unique to each side: the curved one is on the passenger side and the straight one is on the driver side.

7. Remove the windshield-wiper nuts using a 13-millimeter wrench or 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.

8. Pry off the side moldings using gloved fingers or a door-pad tool.  The retainer runs the full length of the A pillar and is riveted in place, similar to previous models.

9. The cowl panel is attached to a retainer attached to the bottom of the glass, similar to the Volkswagen Beetle. To remove, start in the bottom corner, using a plastic stick to pry up the corner of the cowl. Work it along the bottom until the cowl panel is completely released from the retainer. Remove the panel, sliding it upward toward the roof. Set the panel in a safe place. 



10. The top edge of the windshield is exposed and extremely close to the pinchweld wall. Take care when removing the glass. 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
11. Make sure cutting blades are sufficiently sharp.

12. Before cutting out the windshield, remove contaminants from the glass and pinchweld to prevent contact with the urethane.

13. The top edge of the windshield is exposed and extremely close to the pinchweld wall. Before cutting the glass out, tape the entire top edge of the vehicle pinchweld. Cut the sides and bottom first, so you can stretch the urethane downward while cutting the top bead. This will require a second technician. Alternatively, use a length of wire to cut the top bead. Do not use an inside cutout tool as it might score the wall of the pinchweld. Note, there are no gravity stops on this windshield; set the glass with temporary stops or apply tape along the top to hold it in place.

14. Take the windshield out of the opening using a set of vacuum cups. Make sure the vacuum cups do not overlap a crack in the glass. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation.

Installation
15. After cutting the windshield out, remove contaminants such as dirt, moisture and debris from the pinchweld. Clean the dashboard.

16. Dry fit the new glass to the opening. Mark your glass using a grease pencil or retention molding tape.

17. Place your vacuum cups on the new windshield in the appropriate location.

18. Set the windshield onto the old urethane.

19. With the windshield resting in the opening, make sure it is in the right spot.

20. Adjust both sides to the correct setting, marking the passenger side, then the driver side. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation.

21. Follow the urethane manufacturer’s recommendations for installation.

22. Clean the inside of the windshield using a urethane manufacturer-recommended product. Do not touch the bonding area of the windshield after cleaning, prepping or priming it.

23. Wear powder-free Nitrile gloves to protect against harsh chemicals.

24. Apply the glass prep and primer following the urethane manufacturer’s recommendations.

25. Using the tool of your choice, remove the original urethane bead, leaving 1 millimeter-2 mm of existing urethane on the pinchweld. Make sure there are no contaminants and do not touch the pinchweld after prepping the area.

26. 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.

27. Apply a triangular bead of urethane to the same path as the freshly cut urethane on the pinchweld. Before cutting your V-notch, 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.

28. Lift the windshield from the windshield stand or workstation using vacuum cups. Set the windshield on the urethane at the mark you made during your 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.

29. The windshield is now ready to be decked. Press firmly to ensure a good seal.

30. There are two acceptable ways to re-attach the rain sensor. The first option is to use a new adhesive pad. To do so, you must apply the pad when the pad and glass are warm -- at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Take care to eliminate all possible bubbles during application. The second option is to use a liquid rain sensor gel. This product must also be applied in controlled temperatures. It may be easier to use due to its liquid state, which reduces the chance of bubbles in the seal. Either way, check the attachment and operation of the rain sensor before releasing the vehicle to the customer. 

31. 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 more pressure or add more urethane to the spot and ensure that the glass makes contact with the wet urethane.

32. Re-install the removed parts in reverse order.

33. 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 drive-away time that your urethane manufacturer recommends could jeopardize the structural integrity of the vehicle and the safety of its passengers.

34. You have completed the removal and replacement of the windshield.

B. Quarter glass
Removal

1. Make sure you have the right glass. Quarter glass part numbers are FQ24288-89 and FQ24320.

2. The glass is encapsulated and has removable chrome moldings on three sides that extend along the upper portion of the rear door.

3. Remove the lower portion of the molding using a small pocket slot screwdriver to gently pry outward to the seam located in the rear. The rest of the molding is held by clips that you can release with your fingers by pulling outward.



4. Cut out the glass using the tool of your choice. Note: When using any power tool, lubricate the cutting area with water. Spray the top and sides; then make your cuts. If cutting from the vehicle interior, remove the interior quarter panel to facilitate cutout.

Installation
5. After cutting the quarter glass out, remove contaminants such as dirt, moisture and other debris from the pinchweld.

6. Dry fit the new quarter glass to the opening.

7. Place your vacuum cups on the glass in the appropriate location.

8. Set the glass onto the old urethane.

9. With the glass resting in the opening, make sure it is in the right spot.

10. Adjust to the correct setting. Lift the glass and place it on a windshield stand or suitable workstation.

11. Follow the urethane manufacturer’s recommendations for installation.

12. Clean the inside of the quarter glass, using a urethane manufacturer-recommend product. Do not touch the bonding area of the quarter glass after cleaning, prepping or priming it.

13. Wear powder-free Nitrile gloves to keep off chemicals.

14. Apply the glass prep and primer following the urethane manufacturer’s recommendations.

15. Using a pinchweld scraper, remove as much of the original urethane as the urethane manufacturer recommends. Before removing the old urethane, make sure there are no contaminants and do not touch the pinchweld after prepping the area.

16. 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.

17. Apply a triangular bead of urethane to the same path as the freshly cut urethane on the pinchweld. Before cutting your V-notch, 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 and bodyline, 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.

18. Place your vacuum cups on the quarter glass in the appropriate location.

19. Lift the quarter glass from the windshield stand or workstation using your vacuum cups.

20. Set the quarter glass in the opening.

21. The quarter glass is now ready to be decked. Press firmly to ensure a good seal.

22. Before re-installing the parts, check for leaks. Use a leak detector to go over the perimeter of the quarter glass. If you find a leak, apply more pressure or add more urethane to the spot and ensure that the glass makes contact with the wet urethane.

23. Re-install the removed parts in reverse manner. Lip the flap on the encapsulation over the chrome moldings after the moldings are installed on the vehicle.

24. Allow the urethane to cure according to the urethane manufacturer’s recommended cure time before returning the vehicle to the customer.

25. You have completed the removal and replacement of the quarter glass.

C. Back glass
Removal

1. Make sure you have the right glass. Back glass part number is FB24290. The glass has exposed edges on the sides and bottom.

2. To remove the spoiler, release and remove the top interior garnish molding using a door-pad tool or your fingers. Remove the four 30T Torx screws: two underneath the garnish molding and two on the corners. There is double-faced tape on the underside of the spoiler that comes in contact with the glass. This may have to be replaced upon removal.

3. Remove the interior garnish molding from the two sides to provide access to the defroster and antenna connectors. 

4. Remove the rear wiper by removing the cap carefully.  Under the cap is a two-nozzle washer diverter. The diverter sits on a hollowed-out bolt that dispenses the washer fluid. The 13-mm wiper nut threads onto this hollowed bolt. If you lose or damage the diverter, the washer will not work properly.




5. Disconnect all electrical connectors and cut out the glass using the tool of your choice. Tape up the exterior paint prior to cutout. When using any power tool, lubricate the cutting area with water. Spray the top and sides; then make your cuts.
