Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ Cover the instrument panel in order to prevent possible damage.
^ Care must be used to avoid scratching the pinch weld.
^ After installing the new urethane-installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the Urethane Sealant has cured. The curing time at temperatures above 13° C(55°F) and relative humidity above 50% is 12-24 hours (decreasing at higher temperatures and lower humidities). Inadequate curing of the Urethane Sealant may adversely affect the strength of the Urethane Sealant bond.
^ All rust found on the pinch weld must be removed and the pinch weld restored to OEM specifications. If surface rust is found, remove completely down to clean, bare metal. Prime pinch weld metal with an OEM recommended curing automotive paint primer and allow to cure properly. If rust has penetrated through the pinch weld metal, repair the pinch weld sheet metal at a body shop before proceeding.
^ 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 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 its one-hour cure time.
^ Before installing the windshield glass, open the windows slightly to prevent the windshield from being pushed out by air pressure as the door is closed.
