WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All Rear Quarter Window Glass

CAUTION: After installing the urethane installed glass, the vehicle should not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. Refer to the drive away chart for the cure times as temperatures and humidity vary. Inadequate curing of the urethane adhesive will adversely affect the strength of the urethane bond.

Dry fit the rear quarter window glass, making alignment marks with tape or non-staining grease pencil.

CAUTION: Do not scratch the pinch weld area.

Trim the remaining urethane adhesive on the pinch weld to the specification.
- The existing urethane adhesive surface should be smooth and free of cuts and contamination.
