Just got done doing this. I used the 3/8" butyl from Napa that seems to be recommended most often (part# MS 4196). Has anybody else who has used this ended up with a gap between the glass and engine lid seal? I pressed the glass in as far as it would go, but I think maybe this butyl is too thick and prevents the glass from seating as far back as it should (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I used 3/8" and had to heat the tape to get the seal. I used a heat gun and kept pressing until it hit the seal.

You can also get a tube of the black poly sealant, at a glass shop. (same stuff modern windows are installed with). I have used that on the last 914 windows I resealed, with great results, and the ability to press the window nice and snug in position. Tape it in with some masking tape, and let her set for a day.
