New Windshield Install, Rubber Trim Options

[jfort]

I have the butyl tape, trim clips and rubber trim, all from 914 Rubber. The aluminum trim, which is black, has been refurbished. Where the glass sets has been cleaned, sanded and primered. I have an expert coming to help me but I cannot see how the rubber trim works. Are the aluminum trim and the rubber trim mutually exclusive? I don’t remember taking off any rubber when the window was removed and the rubber along the bottom of where the window rests seems different. Help.

Success. Greg at All Service Glass from Lima OH is the man. He got the old glass out and then a week later came back for the install. The discussion above was most helpful. THANKS! I primed with the wrong stuff. Sanded it down some. Greg had the right stuff. I kind of demanded the use off butyl tape based on the discussion. They also roughed and primed the glass. I had the 914Rubber plastic trim clips. The pin that goes in the hole was too big. We determined the best diameter and drilled them. Getting the mirror base off the old window required a torch and the glass ended up breaking anyway. The refurbished black aluminum trim went back in perfectly.
