| Description and Operation Opening Windows Manually operated front door windows are standard. There is a market option for front power windows, which are activated by switches located in the door trim panels. The driver switch also incorporates a one-touch down function. There is a market option for opening rear quarter windows. Fixed/Direct Glazed Windows The front door quarter window glass is secured in a rubber weatherstrip and retained by a flange in the door panel. The windshield, side and rear windows are directly glazed to the window opening flange by means of a polyurethane (PU) adhesive bead. In addition to fixing the glass to the opening flange, the PU adhesive bead also forms a watertight seal around the inner edge of the glass. The glass is held in the correct position, during the curing period of the PU adhesive, by locating pegs in the top corners. There is a market option for sliding rear windows which are fitted into a cassette and secured in the same manner. All new glass, including the sliding cassettes, is supplied in service with the locating pegs attached. It is essential for good adhesion and sealing of the direct glazed windows and sliding rear window cassettes that the correct materials are used and that the PU adhesive is allowed to cure. NOTE:If the ambient temperature falls below 10°C, warming of the PU adhesive using a hot air gun should be employed. The curing time depends not only on temperature, but also on the relative humidity of the air. The cure time for a warm humid environment will be shorter than a cool, dry atmosphere. NOTE:A surface film of water on the bond line of the glass or on the window opening flange will prevent the PU adhesive correctly bonding the two surfaces. Any moisture on the bond line of the glass or on the window opening flange must be removed using a hot air gun before applying the PU adhesive bead. To carry out direct glazing operations an oscillating cutter, an assortment of special cutting blades, a cartridge gun and two glaziers suction cups will be required (in addition to the contents supplied with the Ford repair kit). |
