Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION:- Do not touch the adhesive surface, as re-bonding will be impaired.
- Make sure the cutting blades are changed where the cutting depth changes to avoid damage to the body and trim panels.
- When installing urethane installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. At temperatures above 21°C (70°F) and relative humidities above 50%, adequate cure time is typically 24 hours. (Refer to Essex drive away chart for the cure times as temperatures and humidity vary.) Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the rear window glass.
- Wipe off the urethane glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries.
- If the vehicle is to be driven within 24 hours of urethane adhesive application, urethane adhesive Essex U-216 must be used due to its one-hour cure time.
