• Q: How to reseal a windshield on 2005 Lincoln LS?

  A: The first step to resealing a windshield starts with removing the cowl grille panel followed by both windshield mouldings. You need to remove screws as well as sun visors which come with their attached clips followed by the two A-pillar trim panels. First place the front door weather strips to the side and take out the front passenger assist handles when present. Set the front part of the headliner half-way down before sustaining it with proper supporting material. Apply non-alcohol based glass cleaner to clean every surface on both sides of the windshield glass. Perform the proper trimming of urethane adhesive applicator tips before using a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun to apply urethane adhesive across gaps until obtaining a continuous bead. The technician applies urethane adhesive all around the windshield by extending from the transparent urethane to include both windshield sides and top interior and.bottom exterior parts. The urethane adhesive needs one hour of curing time before leak inspections should begin. If necessary, apply additional urethane adhesive. Following curing you should move the headliner reattach any front passenger assist handles before putting in the front door weather strips then mount and screw the sun visor clips with its pieces while connecting all electrical connectors. Reinstall both the windshield mouldings along with the cowl panel grille.
