- 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. (Refer to 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.
- If the 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 it's one hour cure time.
- Do not scratch pinch weld area.
