So I am ready to install the windshield on my 72 skylark and have a few questions after perusing the posts I could search out. I have heard both good and bad about using 3/8in butyl to seal the windshield. Whats the scoop? If I use the 3/8" stuff can I squish it enough to get the trim on? I like the 3/8 because it will give me plenty of material where I need it, in some less-than flat repaired areas. Real world experiences anyone? Is there any way I can tell if my windshield is OEM or a replacement? Thanks! techg8
Call around. Here a big mobile service will come and install one at my place turn key cheaper than I can buy the glass. A friend just had one installed in a F body for $150 total (labor and materials) and the service traveled 60 miles round trip.
do not use butyl. go to an auto glass shop & have them install with the two part epoxy glues that are used in modern cars.
