  Q: How to reseal a windshield on Mercury Mariner?

  A: The first step to reseal the windshield includes trimming off the LH and RH A-pillar panels together with both windshield side garnish mouldings. Users must remove the front overhead console door to access the two screws while disconnecting any present electrical connector that might be attached. Both sun visors with their clips need removal alongside disconnecting the electrical wires if installed. You should partially lower the front segment of the headliner while supporting it with appropriate materials and afterward detach the cowl panel grille. Apply glass cleaner to wipe all exterior and interior parts of windshield glass surfaces. Use a high-ratio electric or battery-operated caulk gun to cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification for applying a continuous bead without gaps across the surfaces. Disperse the adhesive along the existing urethane adhesive layer which extends across the windshield top surface and interior sides as well as exterior bottom surface. Begin inspecting for air or water leaks only after the urethane adhesive has cured for at least one hour. The adhesive supply can always be adjusted at that time. Fit the cowl panel grille followed by placement of the headliner's front section and readjustment of sun visors on both sides with associated clips before connecting electrical connectors if necessary. The last step is to position the overhead console while using screws to attach it then reconnecting electrical connections if available followed by reinstalling the two windshield side garnish mouldings and the LH and RH A-pillar trim panels.
