Hello Y'all,
Already purchased the Butyl tape, from 914 rubber. Now I am reading in "Tech Tips 700" (tip 468) to use 1/4" (approx. 6mm) only. Reason being is that a thicker kit will make the windshield sit too high and the chrome impossible to fit. Does any one here have this experience with the 9.5mm butyl-cord sold by 914Rubber? Would hate to go through all this hassle to find a problem like this. In case it makes a difference, I have ordered the Sekurit branded Windshield from Prosource. Thanks in advance (because I know one of you will advise). |

Thanks for posting this, @HansJan . Am about to install my new windshield and trim this week. Just gotta get up the nerve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Somewhat disappointed to hear that the 914rubber cord is too thick.
Not trying to hijack OP's thread, but did @raynekat get the 5/16" cord at NAPA? |
