Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ When installing urethane installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. At temperatures above 21°C (70°F) and relative humidities above 50%, adequate cure time is typically 24 hours, (less at higher temperatures and higher humidities). See detailed instructions provided by the urethane manufacturer. Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the windshield.
^ Wipe off the Urethane Glass Prep Essex U-401 meeting Ford specification WSB-M5B314-B immediately after each application because it flash dries.
^ If vehicle is to driven within 24 hours of urethane application, Urethane Sealant Essex U-216 meeting Ford specification WSB-M2G316-B must be used due to its one hour cure time.
