windsheild installation, what size of butyl tape do I need Options

[freezing14]

I am getting to the point whre the windsheild is going in,, called around to some glass shop and they think they are wizzard of some sort because of the price they charge and the BS they say to get your business,,, so i decided to do it myself using the butyl tape, i found a place who sell it but they have a couple of size 3/8, 5/16 square round etc,, what is the best one to use

thanks guys (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

The urethane installation was a no brainer in IMHO. The installer used a special glass primer on a 1/2 inch portion of the glass, let it dry. Then he pulled out a tube and stuck it in a chaulking gun and then proceeded to apply it directly to the inside of the new windshield over that same 1/2 inch black primer. He had already cleaned up the inside of metal on the frame and applied the same primer. He used two suction cups and popped in the windshield. Tapped it slightly in and then squared it away in the metal frame. Then used a razorblade to clean off the excess inside. To me it seemed much simpler than screwing with Butyl and it won't come loose via extreme heat or cold.
