WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure before returning the vehicle to use.
CAUTION: Roll down the left and right front door glass and open the rear glass slider (if available) before installing windshield. This is to
avoid pressurizing the passenger compartment if a door is slammed before the urethane is cured. The potential for water leaks can result.
The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its old urethane bonding material. A small amount of old urethane, approximately 1-2 mm in height,
should remain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint finish and bonding strength will be
adversely affected.
