Windows: Service Precautions

CAUTION:
^ Care must be taken to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
^ After installing the new urethane-installed 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 the Essex drive away chart for the cure times as the temperatures and humidity vary). Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive may adversely affect the strength of the urethane adhesive bond.
^ 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 vehicle is to be driven within 24 hours of urethane adhesive application, Urethane Adhesive Essex U-216 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G3 16-B must be used due to its one hour cure time.
^ Do not overheat the back window glass or damage to the back window glass may occur.
^ To prevent overheating the back window glass remove the soldering gun as soon as the solder flows.
