Windshield: Service Precautions

WINDSHIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Do not operate the vehicle within 24 hours of windshield installation. It takes at least 24 hours for urethane adhesive to cure. If it
is not cured, the windshield may not perform properly in an accident.

-

Urethane adhesives are applied as a system. Use glass cleaner, glass prep solvent, glass primer, PVC (vinyl) primer and pinch weld (fence)
primer provided by the adhesive manufacturer. If not, structural integrity could be compromised.

-

DaimlerChrysler does not recommend glass adhesive by brand. Technicians should review product labels and technical data sheets, and
use only adhesives that their manufactures warrant will restore a vehicle to the requirements of FMVSS 212. Technicians should also
insure that primers and cleaners are compatible with the particular adhesive used.

-

Be sure to refer to the urethane manufacturer's directions for curing time specifications, and do not use adhesive after its expiration date.

-

Vapors that are emitted from the urethane adhesive or primer could cause personal injury. Use them in a well-ventilated area.

-

Skin contact with urethane adhesive should be avoided. Personal injury may result.

-

Always wear eye and hand protection when working with glass.

CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when removing moldings or cutting urethane around windshield.
