Ill be putting a new windshield in my car soon, but i need a new seal and don't know what to buy exactly. I have looked at other windshield installs and people use paint around the edge of the windshield and eliminate the chrome trim, where do you get the seal to remove the trim? Also, whats the point of painting the edge around the windshield?
Thanks everyone |

The paint is a primer that the adhesive will stick to. It also acts as to visually hide the adhesive and pinch-weld.

When I had the last windshield put in the race car I had the glass company use a rubber seal that overlapped the edges of the recess where the glass fits in and seems to keep the water out of the area. I have no idea what he used but the guy was familiar with 914s as I guess there are so many of them in the San Diego are. The windshield sealer does the seal so water can't get inside and something is needed to keep water out of the lower corners.

Use the link above for further details with pictures. |

Brian Frenz (736conver) has the outside rubber seals available. I think he may be in the vendors section or on eBay
