INSTALLATION
CAUTION: After installing the urethane installed back window glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane sealant has cured. The curing
time at temperatures above 13°C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours (decreasing at higher temperatures and lower humidities).
Inadequate curing of the urethane sealant may adversely affect the strength of the urethane sealant bond.
1. Dry-fit the back window glass by centering it side-to-side and by adjusting the blocks (if equipped) to get the correct position of the part
top-to-bottom. Make alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil on both the glass and the vehicle body.
2. Trim the remaining urethane on the pinch weld using only the full-cut method. In this method, most of the existing urethane is removed leaving a
level bead around the entire pinch weld.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
3. Using a wool applicator, apply the Urethane Metal Primer Essex U-413 meeting Ford specification WAB-M234-C to any exposed metal on the
pinch weld and allow six to ten minutes to dry.
4. If reinstalling the original back window glass, remove any excess urethane sealant from the glass.
5. If installing a new back window glass, clean the inside of the glass surface with an alcohol-free cleaner to make sure the ceramic-coated area is
clean.
6. Apply Urethane Glass Prep Essex U-401 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G314-B twice around the class surface to be prepped.
