I got my 914 out of the paint shop on Saturday morning, and spent the weekend replacing all the pieces parts. My window was badly pitted and hard to see through in night driving. I know the window had been removed about five years ago when some major work was done, but Rufino confirmed that the old windshield had been replaced.
Car with windshield removed. Rufino cleaning all the channels and making sure the clips for the trim are solid. The channel all gets cleaned and primed with rust resistant primer. Installing the butyl tape. More butyl tape. And another of the tape installation. Rufino found a missing trim clip, so he reams out the attachment hole, and installs a new clip. Finally, the new windshield. |

Dude, where's the frit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Wonder if thats more greenbacks? For those with questions? From Wikipedia: "A frit (sometimes spelled fritt) is a ground glass or glaze used in pottery. Some materials have to be fritted before they can be used because they are soluble or toxic." The butyl tape used comes off the roll as a tube of the butyl compound which is about .3 inches in diameter. The tube of butyl seals the windshield to the frame. Eric |
