When installing the windshield Ian Kars' video states 5/16" and AA states 1/4"
Which is correct? Or what have you guys used? |

The butyl rolls can vary in diameter. We had an installer come out and found what was marked as 5/16 was closer to 1/4.
Also be careful as you install the bully to not stretch it. Years ago I was the night manager at a factory that made the butyl rools. They were made with an extruder feeding onto a vacuum bekt. The size was controlled by the belt and extruder speed. Had to constantly monitor the size. |
