Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
^ After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane sealant has cured. The curing times at temperatures above 13°C (55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours (decreasing at higher temperatures and lower humidities.) Inadequate curing of the urethane sealant may adversely affect the strength of the urethane sealant bond.
^ Care must be taken not to scratch the pinch weld.
^ Wipe off the urethane glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries. Apply using deliberate strokes, making sure not to overlap the applied area.
^ If vehicle is to be driven within 24 hours of urethane sealant application, Urethane Sealant Essex U-216 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G316-B must be used due to its one hour cure time.
^ Open the windows to prevent the windshield glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door is closed.
