Hey guys so I was wondering if I could get some insight on windshield installation. I've read in the lupwalli threads that if u use the black rubber seal you need to paint the edges of the windshield so it doesn't show or something. Is this true? Also do u need to fill in all the clips holes with silicone or something? Do u also still need to use the butyl? Thanks for the info.

Matt

I figured that was coming... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) but what if it's in great condition and I want to try to save it. Doing a full repaint so I'd like to remove, inspect for rust, paint, then re-install. Is it possible to remove without destroying it?
