Windows: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
^ After installing the urethane installed back window glass, 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.
^ Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
^ 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 the vehicle is to be driven within 24 hours of urethane adhesive application, Urethane Adhesive Essex U-216 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G316-B must be used due to its one hour cure time.
^ Open a window to prevent the back window glass from being pushed out by air pressure when the door is closed.
