I used Mark's windshield seal when the windshield was out. It's fine. Taking the cracked 45 year old "rubber" with the metal teeth inside of it is a frustrating job. It goes all over, and doesn't want to let go. I did it on my yellow car with the windshield in and it cracked the glass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) By the way, Rick, the 'edit' button, lower right corner is your friend. I agree, mine was the same thing - I was trying to replace the seal with window in back before Okteenerfest and had marks new seal, after it fell apart into a million pieces I was try ing to put the new seal in and could see my butyl was shot the window was moving! turns out the only holding my window in place was the original trim and clips! made removal easy - and I found that the metal inside part was still on there- I had put the new seal on over that and didn't know it- its all out now and i think we can manage re-installing the original window( hard to believe its the original window) even though it has some very small chips - i wonder in fact if this is a smart thing- should i get a new one?? i mean, is there a greater chance of this original one breaking or cracking than a new one? |
