9. NOTE:
-
The windshield glass must be positioned within 10 minutes of applying the urethane adhesive.
-
Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that applies the urethane with less effort and a continuous bead.
Apply a bead of urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane adhesive bead on the pinch weld. Make sure that all gaps in the
urethane adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead starting and ending at the bottom of the windshield near the center.
10. WARNING: Do not drive vehicle until the urethane seal has cured. Follow urethane manufacturer's curing directions. Inadequate or
incorrect curing of the urethane seal will adversely affect glass retention. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury
to vehicle occupant(s).
CAUTION: Before positioning the windshield glass, open vehicle windows to prevent the air pressure of closing doors from affecting the
adhesive bond.
Using the alignment marks made previously, position the windshield glass on the pinch weld.
11. NOTE: The urethane adhesive must cure for a minimum of one hour before testing for air or water leaks.
After the urethane cures, check the windshield glass seal for air or water leaks through the urethane adhesive bead and add urethane adhesive as
necessary.
