• Q: How to reseal the windshield on 2009 Ford Mustang?

  A: Start the windshield resealing process by taking out the right-hand A-pillar trim panel with its counterpart on the left side together with the overhead console and left-hand then right-hand sun visors if you have a coupe. The header trim panel needs removal when dealing with convertible models. Support the front headliner while it is pulled down by placing suitable material underneath it. Proceed to take off the cowl vent screen. Clean both surfaces of the windshield glass using glass cleaner. Specify the length of urethane adhesive applicator tip before using a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun to create a continuous bead of urethane adhesive that has no gaps. The windshield adhesive should be applied to the upper and lateral areas from inside the vehicle space but to the lower area from outside. The urethane adhesive needs a minimum one hour curing period until examination of the adhesive bead for leaks before adding additional adhesive. After installing the cowl vent screen, convertible model owners need to install both header trim panels and left-hand and right-hand A-pillar trim panels. The front headliner should be placed first for coupe models before installing the left-hand and right-hand sun visors together with the overhead console followed by the installation of the right-hand and left-hand A-pillar trim panels. The process completion requires installation of the wiper blade along with pivot arm adjustments when needed.
