Installation
CAUTION:
-
After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. The curing times at
temperatures above 13°C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours (Refer to the Essex drive away chart for the cure times
as temperatures and humidity vary). Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive may adversely affect the strength of the urethane bond.
-
Open the windows to prevent the windshield glass from being pushed out by air pressure if the doors are closed.
1. Dry fit the windshield glass, making alignment marks with tape or a non-staining grease pencil.
2. CAUTION: Do not scratch the pinch weld area.
Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld to within the specification.
-
The existing urethane adhesive surface should be smooth and free of cuts and contamination.
3. Use a wool applicator to apply metal primer to any exposed metal on the pinch weld. Allow 6 to 10 minutes to dry.
4. If reinstalling the original windshield glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive and the windshield moulding.
5. Clean the inside of the windshield glass surface with an alcohol-free cleaner making sure the ceramic-coated area is clean.
6. CAUTION: Wipe off the glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries.
If installing a new windshield glass, apply glass prep twice around the glass surface to be urethaned.
7. If installing a new windshield, apply glass primer to the same area that was prepped in the pervious step. Allow 5 minutes to dry.
