Installation

CAUTION:  After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane has cured. The curing time for temperatures
above 13 °C (55 °F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12 - 24 hours. (See Drive Away chart for cure times as temperature and humidity vary).
Inadequate curing of the urethane may adversely affect the strength of the urethane bond.

CAUTION:  Open the windows to prevent the windshield glass from being pushed out by air pressure if doors are closed.

1. Dry fit the windshield. Make alignment marks with tape or non-staining pencil.

CAUTION:  Do not scratch pinch weld area.
