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? |

I removed my trim before paint. Replaced my trim with rubber after I had the car painted.

Bingo Royce.
My understanding is the windshield is held in by butyl tape. The trim is only for looks (or you could argue that it is supposed to keep water out.... which it kinda does.) Personally, I don't like the look of chrome or shiny aluminum. I prefer black. So, some nice rubber to fill the gap and keep water out is in order. BTW, I'm looking for some of that.

Ok, cool.
But the rubber trim still has to go on before the windshield goes in, right? Rand: I plan to just buy what I need at an autoglass place, but if I can't find it and have to buy 75 feet, I'll let you know. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Andy, where did you get yours from, and who installed it for you?

Ok, now I'm confused again. The cross sections I have seen showed it hooking under the glass.. but if the glass is installed, isn't there butyl/steel there? |

Me too. There is a groove in the rubber that the window fits in. |

ok, i thought you meant you'll need to put it on the car before the windshield goes in. which is wrong. you wrap it around the windshield and then put both in at the same time. however, you *can* put it in after the windshield is installed. just a PITA ...

I just called HPH and he said they are still looking for a suitable replacement for the chrome trim. There is a little information in the “Classic Message Threads”, but it is not a step by step procedure with the material needed to do the job. I would like to replace the chrome around my windshield also.

Cost $200 to have a guy come to my house and replace the windshield in less then an hour. He used rubber trim and replaced the rearview mirror. Looks good, I can't imagine messing with it myself.

If you go to a glass shop and say "butyl tape" prepare to get an ear full. There have been advancements in the last 30 years and some of them are actually good.

you can .... cut off the lip, use another layer of thin "buthyl" or whatever it's called and use it to glue in the black rubber ... works like a charme ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Andy |
