  Q: How to reseal the windshield on Lincoln MKS?

  A: Start the windshield resealing process by displacing the front parts of both left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) roof ditch mouldings while removing front scrivets to release their mount clips. The windshield resealing procedure begins by taking out the upper cowl panel grille then continuing with the LH and RH A-pillar trim panels and overhead console and additional rain sensor if present. Start by taking out the passenger front assist handle together with the LH and RH sun visors before lowering the front section of headliner coverage with suitable blocking materials. Glass cleaner should be used to clean all interior and exterior windshield glass surfaces. The urethane adhesive applicator tip should be trimmed down to 6 mm (0.24 in) specifically to be used with a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun that can distribute the adhesive smoothly to existing adhesive areas. All spaces should blend seamlessly into single continuous beads. The technician should apply adhesive to the windshield top and sides through the interior vehicle access while applying adhesive to the windshield bottom outside of the vehicle. Transport to a testing station after one hour urethane adhesive curing period for air and water leak inspections with possible additional adhesive application. When the urethane adhesive cures completely reinstall the front portion of the headliner followed by sun visors on both sides together with the passenger front assist handle and any rain sensor equipped with overhead console and A-pillar panels and upper cowl panel grille. Install the scrivet after repositioning LH and RH roof ditch mouldings then conduct a last cleansing process of interior and exterior windshield glass with glass cleaner.
