| Description and Operation Opening Windows Manually operated windows are fitted as standard. There is a market option for power windows. The power windows are activated by switches on each passenger door or by a multiple switch on the driver door. The multiple switch on the driver door incorporates a safety switch that prevents the rear windows from being opened by the rear door window switches. However, the rear windows can still be operated from the driver door window control switch. Fixed/Direct Glazed Windows The windshield and the rear window are directly glazed to the window opening flange by means of a polyurethane (PU) adhesive bead. In addition to fixing the glass to the opening flange, the adhesive bead also forms a water tight seal around the inner edge of the glass. It is essential for good adhesion and sealing of direct glazed windows that the correct materials are used and that the PU adhesive is allowed to cure. NOTE:Should the ambient temperature fall below 10°C, warming of the adhesive using a hot air gun should be employed. The curing time of the adhesive depends not only on temperature, but also on the relative humidity of the air. The cure time for a warm humid environment will be shorter than for a cool, dry atmosphere. NOTE:A surface film of water on the bond line of the glass or on the window opening flange will prevent the adhesive correctly bonding the two surfaces. Any moisture on the bond line of the glass or on the window opening flange must be removed using a hot air gun before applying the PU bead. To carry out direct glazing operations, an oscillating cutter, an assortment of special cutting blades, a cartridge gun and two glaziers suction cups will be required, in addition to the contents supplied with the Ford repair kit. |
