Laecaon Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 So I installed my new windshield this summer with a new seal. Since it has started raining I am getting water in the passenger foot well. I installed my windshield with no sealant because it seemed like less of a mess, and I thought I had read others do that. Haynes manual says to use a "sealing compound" What would be good to use to seal my windshield gasket? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 beutel rubber is what you want. You can buy it in a big roll from any autoparts store for around $8. I use it for sealing in vibrating parts and filling tiny holes that leak. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I used urethane in a tube from a glass shop. (the guy was pissed at his boss and gave me a whole tube) It's messy stuff but works really well. Do not get on hands. It won't rub off! Quote Link to comment
Guest 510kamikazifreak Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 510s had a thin strip of urethane along the top of the gasket(to body)for some reason,they are not like todays vehicles where the glass is a integral part of the unibody,so the need for urethane is not there. they were also sealed around the whole windshield to gasket,aswell as the rubber to body with Butyl sealant(tube,caulk< laymans term :lol: ) http://www.proformproducts.com/en/products/info/?product=312&category=24 If you ever want to remove the windshield sometime down the road, Do NOT use urethane ,or the gasket will be toast Edit* Use Dupont 4105S(wash/wipe,check material data sheet to confirm it will not erode your painted finsh)to clean any excess butyl off the rubbber and the painted surface.

philcas1987 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 i got a tube from a glass guy. had a napa logo. specifically for windows. non hardening butyl. layed a consistent bead all around little bit smaller than the diameter of a pencil. if you do any bigger it will be messy. no urethane.
