Windshield: Description and Operation

Windshield Construction

The windshield (4) is installed by using a special type of adhesive (that is, one component urethane adhesive used with primer). For windshield glass replacement, it is important to use an adhesive which provides sufficient adhesion strength and to follow the proper procedure.







CAUTION:
- For replacement of the glass, use one component urethane adhesive to be used with primer in combination. Each adhesive has its own drying and setting time and must be handled and used in a certain specific procedure. Negligence in the following such procedure or misuse of the adhesive in any way hinders its inherent adhesive property. Therefore, before the work, make sure to read carefully the instruction and description given by the maker of the adhesive to be used and be sure to follow the procedure and observe each precaution throughout the work.
- Should coated surface be scratched or otherwise damaged, be sure to repair damaged part, or corrosion may start from there.

Use an adhesive of above mentioned type which has the following property.
