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.

The paint you want to use is the Frit paint. Like old Conedodger said it makes the butyl stick better but also hides the butyl from being seen. Same principle as new vehicles with the black band.
If I were you; I would take the old windshield out yourself and make sure there isn't any rust in there and then I would have a windshield company come out and install your new one. I did this and it only cost me about $75 bucks for them to come to my house to do it. They've done it more times than me and I didn't want any problems down the road from a jacked up install (me doing it). Use the search on here for Frit paint. I can't remember who i got mine from on here. |
