Galvagni Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdaly Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 For the windshield I used 3M Black 051135 08509 automotive bedding & glazing compound 10oz cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvagni Posted March 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Did you use the bedding compound in the gasket channel into which the glass goes and along the body opening on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdaly Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
