I have brand new paint on the car. I remember the last time I had a windshield installed by I don't think the installer used primer.
Is it best to prime the frame first and is butyl primer the right stuff? Like this? https://www.amazon.com/CRL-Pinchweld-Primer...uct_top?ie=UTF8 |

I did this alone but another set of hands would be good. I used butyl and primer. Didn’t cost that much more to do it right. I’ve been around here long enough to hear a few horror stories about cracked windshields because of the modern goop. The shops were even claiming butyl wasn’t legal in California anymore. Not true.
#1 thing to do “while you’re in there” so to speak. Replace the forward vinyl behind the dash. Given the 914rubber.com dash board quality, you should do that too... |
