Minimum Curing Times For Bonded Windows

WARNING:

There are special requirements when replacing bonded windows. This includes, for example, that a newly bonded windshield is safe for vehicle operation and also in case of an accident after a specified minimum curing time.

The minimum curing time for all windows is two hours for the two-part window adhesive.

If only the one-part window adhesive is used, the minimum curing time is 16 hours for all windows.

Minimum curing time means the time from when the window is bonded to when the vehicle is put back into use. During this time, the vehicle must be on a level surface at room temperature (at least 15 °C (59 °F)).

WARNING:

The vehicle is operationally ready only after the minimum curing time has elapsed.
