Used the clips that come with The Genuine Porsche OEM trim kit From Sierra Madre and important to note that they do not break as easily as the aftermarket ones. Drawback is that they were one clip short in the package. Luckily our 914World Designated Windshield Installer had a spare.
 Once clips were in, a Butyl Primer was used as recommended in the below thread. http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=312146  Windshield was warmed up in the sun prior to install.  5/16 Butyl Primer is used and the glass positioned and seated.   Snap in the trim clips and you're good to go.  The windshield I am using is a Sekurit from Finland and it seems to not sit 100% flush in some areas. As a result, it takes some finessing to make sure there is enough clearance for the trim to notch comfortably into the clips. The takeaway here is to use a professional installer if you do not have the suction tool or have not done a windshield install before! |
