JUST A SHORT QUESTION FOR WHOEVER MIGHT KNOW, WE RECIEVED A W/S THIS MORNING FOR A 05 VOLVO. IT LOOKED LIKE A GOOD SHIELD, BUT IT HAD WHAT LOOKED LIKE A FACTORY APPLIED PRIMER ON THE FRIT. THIS DOESNT SEEM SAFE. HOW CAN YOU BE SURE IT HASN'T BEEN CONTAMINATED IN SHIPPING? WHAT KIND OF PRIMER IS IT? WE USE ESSEX THANES, IS IT COMPATABLE WITH THIS PREAPPLIED PRIMER?

Big question. Without knowing what the heck it is, I wouldn't touch it. Send it back and ask for another.

What if it was one that somebody else already primered then went out mobile, found they had the wrong W/S and sent it back, but the supplier didn't pay attention and catch it?

What kind of WS was it?

Ask the supplier to check the rest, if they are all like that call Dow with all information on the part. I would not proceed until I had a definite answer from someone about what the heck it is.

there are a few windshield that come pre primed. I know if you do the new jeep cammander and get a mopar it will come pre primed. It even has a sticker on it that primer is good till such in such a date. The one i saw said it was good till the end of july. after that it had to be reprimed. I know there are a few other shields that come primed from the manufacture.

what was the part number for this shield??

BG2: Did you install a Commander w/s yet and if so anything tricky or anything? Thanks

I think thw dw1603 comes pre-primed.
