At first I thought the rubber replaced the butyl tape and actually held the glass in like on "normal" older cars. I've done some searching, and now I'm thinking that the tape is still what holds the glass in, and the rubber only replaces the chrome trim and clips.
Can I get a BTDT to confirm either way? |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) When you glue that windshield in, you'll probably end up gluing the trim in too. If you want to have chrome trim you'll have to replace it whenever you have to replace the glass. That being said, if I were not using the chrome trim, I'd probably want to glue it in as the chrome does help hold the glass in place. I paint the windshield channel black, and then use that black urethane primer too. This way if your adhesive (or butyl tape) doesn't cover all of the channel, you don't have body color areas shining through the windshield. |
