Preparing to install new windshield. Replaced dash vinyl and installed lower seal.
Body metal had a flat rubber seal between glass and frame...Are those available or what is procedure for that part of the job.
Yes I have new plastic clips and trim.
As someone's signature says "open wallet ...watch $$ fly away !"
Thanks
Terry

Now that that is cleared up, the 3/16 works a little better as it doesn't raise up on the trim when snapped into place.

I've used the 1/4", but stretch it a bit to thin it out.

Put your clips in the frame first. Then put the tape around. This way you can clear the clips if you ever want to remove the trim. If you use butyl in a tube , it usually gets everywhere and locks the trim down (you'll bend the crap out of it trying to get it off).

Also, the butyl tape kit comes with a couple of rubber spacers that you put in the bottom channel to space the windshield up from the cowling. Leave them in for about 24 hours so the glass won't slide down and let the butyl take a set. Then snap the trim in place.

Good luck .....................
