Hi Guys,
Okay, I'm looking to install the windshield in a few weeks. I noticed these two how-to links that both use the 3m window-weld and a prep cleaner/adhesive. Glass Action Hart's 73 They also use a rubber replacement for the windshield trim pieces (from 914rubber.com). I like this look, but also seem to recall someone on ebay offering a rubber seal that, at least as I remember it, installed the windshield in a method similar to VW windshields. The glass fit into a groove in the rubber and another groove on the other side fit onto the metal of the windshield frame. Is my memory failing? Does such a thing exist? Has anyone used this option? Thanks in advance for your thoughts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Bob |

I would call it a seal, it keeps water out, it has a bead of butyl around the onside track that bonds to the glass. It is then set into the opening using windshield eurathane, so the windshield must be out.
While the OEM trim is cosmetic, this is what I would consider a structural application. Just my .02 |
