My windshield is finally in, after much research and fail painting attempts.
I use special glass paint but it came out streaky and bad looking, even used a glass primer. It was a product another memeber used. For some reason my results sucked. So I ended up calling a company to come out and install it. I had already pick up the brand new PPG glass for $125. Their cost was $89 to install as I already had the windshield and the rubber seal. For those of you who are curious I obtain the rubber seal from my brother in law. I know others have tried different ones but this one looks pretty good. There are chrome ones and ones the have a feature line. The black painted border, or frit as its called, It comes in a tube with a shoe polish like applicator. No masking was needed. Just a steady hand. There are other primers available but this one looks like its the easiest. The urethane that was used was also a betaseal product. Before that was put down he used betaprime for the metal on the car. The guy that install it said you should never mix different brands. He also said I was just asking for trouble using the glass paint I had. Not the right tool for the job as he put it. So to recap Rubber seal Black painted border Betaprime for the car And betaseal urethane Again all the same brand. Attached image(s) |

most seal conversions i've seen, lift in the lower corners. just like a hole in the roof of your house in my book. again, this appears to be a first rate install.
