Vehicle Damage Warnings

CAUTION:
^ Cover the instrument panel to prevent possible damage.
^ Care must be taken to prevent scratching the pinch weld.
^ After installing the urethane installed windshield, 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.
^ 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.
^ Open a window to prevent the windshield glass from being pushed out by air pressure when a door is closed.
