Windows and Glass: Service Precautions

WARNING: To prevent glass splinters from entering the eyes or cutting the hands, wear safety glasses and heavy gloves when cutting the glass from the vehicle.

Removing the windshield glass requires more than one technician.

Inadequate or incorrect curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect windshield glass retention. After installing urethane bonded glass, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane has cured. Using Essex 400 HV at 21°C (7°F) and relative humidity above 50%, adequate cure time is typically 24 hours (less at higher temperatures and higher humidity). Follow manufacturer's instructions.
