4. NOTE:
-
Lubricate the urethane adhesive with water to aid the special tool when cutting.
-
Locating pins need to be cut through in order to remove the rear quarter window glass. The new quarter window glass will be equipped with
new locating pins.
Using the special tool, cut the urethane adhesive from the quarter window glass starting at the top center and working toward the bottom corners
and remove the rear quarter window glass.
5. Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any foreign material or dirt from the pinch weld.
Installation
All Rear Quarter Window Glass
CAUTION: After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. The curing
time 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 will adversely affect the strength of the urethane
bond.
1. Dry fit the rear quarter window glass, making alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil.
2. CAUTION: Do not scratch the pinch weld area.
Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld to the specification.
-
The existing urethane adhesive surface should be smooth and free of cuts and contamination.
3. CAUTION: Use caution when applying metal primer. Apply a light amount of primer. Too much primer will run and damage the
painted surface.
Use a wool applicator to apply metal primer to any exposed metal on the pinch weld. Allow 6 to 10 minutes to dry.
4. Clean the inside of the rear quarter window glass surface with alcohol-free cleaner, making sure the ceramic coated area is clean.
5. CAUTION: If installing a LH rear quarter window on the Escape Hybrid, do not apply urethane glass prep to the polycarbonate vent of
the window assembly.
NOTE: Wipe off the glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries.
Apply glass prep twice around the glass surface to be urethaned.
