  Q: How to reseal a windshield on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  You should begin the windshield resealing process by removing the cowl panel grille then setting aside both the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) Weather Strips. Start by removing the trim panels that cover the A-pillars from both sides before proceeding to remove sun visors on the left-hand and right-hand sides. Vehicle owners with the overhead console and LH and RH assist handles should remove those items before windshield resealing. Lower the front headliner before supporting it with adequate material. Use glass cleaner to clean all inner and outer surfaces on the windshield glass. Cut the applicator tip of urethane adhesive to 6 mm (0.24 in). Use a high-ratio caulk gun with electric or battery functionality to distribute a continuous bead of urethane adhesive properly. Use the adhesive to cover the top and lateral parts of the existing urethane from inside the car and to cover the bottom area from outside. Air and water leakage tests must wait for one hour after urethane adhesive application to determine effective adhesion. Check the windshield seal for leaks after curing while performing any required adhesive additions. After repositioning the front headliner, reinstall the LH and RH assist handles, overhead console (when present) along with LH and RH sun visors before installing the LH and RH A-pillar trim panels, LH and RH weather strips and concluding with the cowl panel grille. Use glass cleaner to clean both interior and exterior surfaces of the windshield glass once more.
