INSTALLATION







1. Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld using only the full-cut method. In this method, most of the existing urethane adhesive is removed leaving a level bead around the entire pinch weld.

CAUTION: Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.

2. Use the wool applicator to apply 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.







3. Apply Urethane Glass Prep Essex U-401 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G314-B twice around the glass surface to be prepped in the area indicated by the dots marked on the glass.

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.

4. Apply Urethane Glass Primer Essex U-402 meeting Ford specification WSB-M5B280-C to the same area that was prepped in the previous step. Allow five minutes to dry.







5. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.
6. Apply a bead of Urethane Adhesive Essex 400-HV or Essex U-216 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G316-B to the sliding door glass.

CAUTION: If 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.

7. Install the sliding door glass.

CAUTION: Open the windows to prevent the sliding door glass from being pushed out by air pressure if a door is closed.

8. After the urethane adhesive has cured, check for water leaks and add urethane adhesive where needed.
