REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)
(15) Force the windshield glass inward just enough
to wet-out and set the urethane. Use care to avoid
excessive squeeze-out of adhesive.
(16) Water test the windshield with a water spray
after installation. Do not direct high pressure
streams of water directly at urethane. If any leaks
are detected, apply urethane as necessary.
(17) If used, remove the masking tape from the
inner surface of the glass.
(18) Install all components and clean the vehicle.
(19) Open the vehicle windows to prevent interior
pressure while the urethane is curing. If not
vented, pressure in the interior of the vehicle
may interfere with proper glass bonding.
(20) Install the rearview mirror.
