How to Remove the Windshield Panel of Volkswagen Touran?
2 Answers
Remove the wipers and rain deflector at the front of the vehicle. Use a flat-head screwdriver to slowly remove the black protective strip around the windshield. Thread a steel wire through the sealant under the windshield. One person inside the car and one outside, pull back and forth to slowly separate the sealant until all the sealant around the entire windshield is loosened. Use a small knife blade to slowly scrape off the black sealant remaining on the car, then use sandpaper for final cleaning, and carefully remove the car windshield panel.
Removing the wind deflector on the Volkswagen Touran is quite simple if you do it yourself, but you need to be careful. First, prepare the necessary tools, such as a small flat-head screwdriver and a plastic pry bar—avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the car's paint. The wind deflector is usually a plastic trim piece fixed around the windshield, with hidden clips or small screws. Start from the side, gently pry open the edge, and slowly release the clips. Avoid using excessive force to prevent the plastic from breaking. If you find it difficult, check the vehicle manual or look for a specific model video tutorial online for safer guidance. It's best to perform the entire process in a shaded area, as sunlight can make the plastic brittle and prone to cracking. After removal, inspect the clips for any damage. If they're broken, replace them with new ones to prevent windshield loosening or water leakage. I recommend taking your time and not rushing, as mistakes could potentially damage the car.
