ISSUE: A revised procedure for installing urethane adhesive held windshields is used in production. It eliminates the need for spacers between the glass and the flange.

ACTION: When installing windshields, refer to Section 43-11 of the appropriate Shop Manual and use the following service procedure.

1. Remove the glass and spacers from the flange.

2. Clean all excess hardened urethane from the flange.

3. Clean the underside edge of the glass outer edge with glass cleaner, Figure 1. Wipe it off immediately after application.

4. Apply urethane primer, Figure 1. Allow five minutes drying time.

5. Where appropriate, apply a strip of polyvinyl chloride foam tape (ESB-M3G137-A) around the outer area of the glass about 8.0 +/- 1.0 mm in from edge.

Figure 2:

NOTE: FOAM TAPE IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ALL VEHICLES. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE SHOP MANUALS, SECTION 43-11 FOR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.

6. Apply a bead of urethane sealer on the primer between the edge of the glass and the foam tape. The bead should be about 12.0 mm high and 8.0 mm wide, Figure 2.

7. Install the windshield on the cleaned and preped flange without spacers.

8. Follow the instructions in the appropriate Shop Manual for the finishing steps.
