If installing a new windshield glass, apply urethane glass primer according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow at least 6 minutes to dry.
9. Cut the urethane applicator tip to specification.
10. NOTE:
-
Use either a high-ratio, electric or battery-operated caulk gun that will apply the urethane with less effort and continuous bead.
-
The windshield glass must be positioned within 10 minutes of applying the urethane adhesive.
Apply a uniform bead of urethane adhesive on top of the existing trimmed urethane bead on the pinch weld.
-
Make sure that all gaps in the urethane bead are smoothed into one continuous bead.
11. WARNING: Do not drive vehicle until the urethane seal has cured. Follow urethane manufacturer's curing directions. Inadequate or
incorrect curing of the urethane seal will adversely affect glass retention. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury
to vehicle occupant(s).
CAUTION: Before positioning the windshield glass, open vehicle windows to prevent the air pressure of closing doors from affecting the
adhesive bond.
Using the alignment marks made previously, position the windshield glass on the pinch weld.
12. NOTE: The urethane adhesive must cure for a minimum of one hour before testing for air and water leaks.
After the urethane adhesive has cured, check for water leaks and add urethane adhesive where needed.
13. NOTE: Follow the same routing for the electrical connector that was used during removal.
If equipped, connect the heated windshield electrical connectors.
