Hello Y'all,


Already purchased the Butyl tape, from 914 rubber.
Now I am reading in "Tech Tips 700" (tip 468) to use 1/4" (approx. 6mm) only.
Reason being is that a thicker kit will make the windshield sit too high and the chrome impossible to fit.

Does any one here have this experience with the 9.5mm butyl-cord sold by 914Rubber?
Would hate to go through all this hassle to find a problem like this.

In case it makes a difference, I have ordered the Sekurit branded Windshield from Prosource.

Thanks in advance (because I know one of you will advise).
