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 original factory install used a heated wire caulking. Even factory replacement kits did not have that. I have a few of those. You need to have the spacer blocks to ensure the correct depth of the glass into the frame. Otherwise, your trim will not fit correctly.
