INSTALLATION
CAUTION: When installing urethane installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. At temperatures above 21°C (70
°F) and relative humidities above 50%, adequate cure time is typically 24 hours. (Refer to the Essex drive away chart for the cure times as the
temperatures and humidity vary). Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the windshield.
1. Dry fit the windshield glass to the existing urethane adhesive bead on the body pinch weld. Align the windshield glass in the opening for a uniform
fit.
2. Use a non-permanent pencil to make alignment marks on the windshield glass at the setting blocks and the body to aid in the installation alignment
of the windshield glass.
3. Remove the windshield glass.
4. Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld. The urethane adhesive must be smooth and free of cuts and contamination after
trimming. Avoid touching the urethane surface after preparation.
NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld.
