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)

The battery was used in the original wired install. It had a wire in and when you connected it to the battery, it would melt the seal.
I just installed my window using 914rubber, and have the same problem.... It's close, but I gave up. It will have to do. Used a heat gun and large block to try to spread the load, but still have a small gap. I also have what seems to be excessive butyl on the outside. |
