Reinstall windshield and rear glass

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for some advice on the material needed to reinstall the windshield and rear glass. I'm looking for suggestions.

Windshield:   The workshop manual says:

- lay a heavy bead of waterproof windshield sealant in the glass channel

- bead of soft bedding compound around windshield opening

Rear Window:

- Lay a strip of PPG 1072 Butyl vulcanized tape on the outside area of the window. I can't find the required tape as described in the manual. Is there a substitute?

- Bead of waterproof sealer along the body opening on the fence. Would this be the same sealant as used on the windshield?

I did see 3M™ Auto Bedding and Glazing Compound suggested in a forum discussion. Might this be the "soft bedding Compound"?

Any Suggestions

For the windshield I used 3M Black 051135  08509 automotive bedding & glazing compound 10oz cartridges.

The 08509 is described as 'medium-bodied'.  I don't have the maint. manual anymore.  I just remember (11 yrs ago) going by the instructions.
