2006 Ford Focus Windshield Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to reseal a windshield on 2006 Ford Focus?

  A: Vehicle windshield resealing starts with removing the cowl panel grille and subsequent removal of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) A-pillar trim panels. The overhead console along with the interior lamp should be disassembled while disconnecting electrical connectors as needed. The next step requires you to take out the screws as well as sun visors while removing their retaining clips by opening the covers. Unscrew the retaining clips on each assist handle safety cover and extract the handle components by continuing to turn the clips at a 90-degree angle. The front segment of the headliner should be dropped partially and then supported by appropriate materials for safety. A non-alcohol based glass cleaner helps clean both surface types of the windshield glass on interior and exterior sides. The urethane adhesive applicator tip needs modification according to specifications before affixing the urethane adhesive to specific locations with help from a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun and maintaining a gapless continuous bead. The cremation process starts with applying urethane adhesive to the windshield top and sides inside the vehicle while applying urethane to the windshield bottom from outside. The adhesive urethane needs an hour of curing time prior to testing the adhesive bead for leaks or adding more adhesive. Position the front part of the headliner after which you must reinstall both Left and Right assist handles and fasten their retaining clips. Fasten the retainers and screws into the sun visor while setting the sun visors properly. Repaint the interior lamp if required then install the electrical connectors before the overhead console. Reinstall the LH and RH A-pillar trim panels with the cowl panel grille as the last step.
