*Please note the information below only applies to our Case/New Holland, Kubota, and Takeuchi polycarbonate windows.
We recommend either a double-sided UHB window tape or U-428 urethane window adhesive primer or primerless. We have had really good success with with double sided window tape over the adhesive and that is our main recommendation. We sell both options on our website with each door that requires it as an option.
Double Sided Tape - 3M Genuine VHB
For optimal bonding performance, our double-sided tape reaches approximately 50% of its strength within 20 minutes, 90% after 24 hours, and achieves full bond strength at 72 hours. To ensure a secure and lasting adhesion, Forestry Doors recommends using clamps during the application process. It is essential that both the frame and polycarbonate surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and free of any previous adhesive before applying the tape.
DOW BETASEAL™ U-428+HV
DOW BETASEAL™ U-428+HV is a high-performance, one-component urethane adhesive designed for automotive glass bonding. It offers a minimum drive-away time of approximately 4 hours at temperatures down to 40°F (4.4°C), as per FMVSS 212 crash test standards. The working time is about 8–10 minutes after application at 72°F (22°C) and 50% relative humidity. This adhesive is primerless to most fritted surfaces, simplifying the installation process. Always consult the product's technical data sheet and ensure that conditions are suitable for proper curing.
