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)

ok and what is that primer for ,, i urethane the back window and did not use primer ,,, is it going to fall out,, I was gonna get a guy to do it but they all charge too much otherwise i was going to, the car has been completely cleaned and disassembled , so there is no old windsheild to remove or anything to clean and he charge 130$,,,,,WTF, may be i can buy an other tube of urethane, but what is that primer for???

If you primer the surfaces you just get a little stronger bond. If you cleaned the metal on the rear window real good, then I don't think it will fall out in your lifetime. The guy that came to my house and put in the windshield only charged me $50. He did a beautiful job. There are a few freelance installers out there who turn an extra buck on the weekends for themselves. He even fixed a chip on the Mrs car for $25.00. Can't even see where it was repaired!
