How to Install a Windshield in a Ford F150
- 1). Clean up any residual urethane after removing the old windshield with a razor blade. Cut the old urethane down to approximately 3 mm.
- 2). Clean the pinchweld area on the F150 where the new windshield will be installed. Gently brush the area with a cleaning brush. Use water and clean rags to dry the area.
- 3). Coat the frit band with urethane primer. The frit band is the black strip-edge running around the perimeter. The band has to be activated to open up the pores so that the urethane can adhere to the glass.
- 4). Run a bead of urethane into the pinchweld area on the Ford F150 where the windshield will be placed using an electric caulk gun.
- 5). Align the top, bottom and sides of the windshield and press the windshield into place.
