After a local shop failed miserably to stop the water coming in on my 73 Dart after two attempts, I tried resealing the windshield with some butyl sealant but still had water leaking. I started looking closer at the seal which was newly supplied to the shop for the installation and there was a tear in the seal. Needless to say I was pissed. I pulled the windshield back out and will try it myself. I wanted to ask the group about the re-install. I am still waiting for a new seal and some more butyl sealant to come in. I have cleaned the area of all the sealant and checked all the trim clips.
Now to the questions. When I get ready to re-install, do I put a bead of butyl on the metal then put the gasket in place, install the glass then go around the edge of the seal with the butyl again? Sounds too easy and looking for some tips on how to get this thing sealed up.
