INSTALLATION
All vehicles
CAUTION: After installing the urethane installed windshield, 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 ESSEX drive away chart for cure
times as temperatures and humidity vary). Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive may adversely affect the strength of the urethane
adhesive bond.
1. Dry-fit the windshield glass by centering it side-to-side and by adjusting the setting blocks (if equipped) to get the correct position of the part
top-to-bottom. Make alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil on both the glass and the vehicle body.
2. CAUTION: Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
Trim the remaining urethane on the pinch weld using only the full-cut method. in this method, most of the existing urethane is removed leaving a
level bead around the entire pinch weld.
3. Using a wool applicator, apply the Urethane Metal Primer Essex U-413 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G234-C to any exposed metal on the
pinch weld. Allow 6 to 10 minutes to dry.
4. If reinstalling the original windshield glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive from the windshield glass.
5. If installing a new windshield glass, clean the inside of the glass surface with an alcohol-free cleaner to make sure the ceramic-coated area is clean.
6. CAUTION: Wipe off the urethane glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries. Apply deliberate strokes, making
sure not to overlap the applied area.
If installing a new windshield glass, apply Urethane Glass Prep Essex U-401 meeting Ford specification WSB-M5B280-C twice around the class
surface to be prepped.
7. If installing a new windshield glass, apply Urethane Glass Primer Essex U-402 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G314-B to the same area that
was in the previous step. Allow five minutes to dry.
