Nothing a little JB Weld can't fix...  Group: Members Posts: 263 Joined: 8-June 09 From: WA Member No.: 10,450 Region Association: Pacific Northwest  |
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.

I used the original butyl rubber rope method. You can buy the butyl rope at an autobody supply store. Also get the catalyst which is the 'black' paint you might be referring to. It isn't to hide anything, it makes the windshield stick better.
There are 19 clips that go around the outside edge of the window flange to hold the trim. Buy these new direct from Porsche as they are probably the cheapest source I have found. Let me know if you need more info... Just did it. |
