I just call a local glass shop Binswager here in Richmond and got this crock of a story.....
Butyl tape is against the law to install. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) He has to used epoxy to install the windshield. If buytl tape is used the windshield could fly out on impact and eject someone from the car. He also said butyl tape is an old 70's method, no one uses that stuff anyomore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gunner.gif) What the ????? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) To top it off he will not sell me the ruber seal that goes around the windsheild?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pissoff.gif) I guess I can go down to a FLAPS and buy some butyl tape and get the trim from another store and install it myself. Has anyone installed the windshield their self? Cheers it's almost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) o'clock Kerry |
