I have brand new paint on the car. I remember the last time I had a windshield installed by I don't think the installer used primer.
Is it best to prime the frame first and is butyl primer the right stuff? Like this? https://www.amazon.com/CRL-Pinchweld-Primer...uct_top?ie=UTF8 |

For the rear window, I have used 5/16 butyl about 6 years ago. No issues. I had removed all traces of the original adhesive and degreased the paint with alcool. Nice fresh surface.
You want to use electric tape on the lower cabin side of the window to hide the butyl. While in there, I remember replacing the rubber lip (914 rubber) that reach over the engine lid Good luck. |
