weather strip sealer

do i need to put any sealer along the bottom edge of the back window sill before i put the gasket and widow in?

 

Yes you must use a sealer in that location, or it will leak right onto the package tray and into the trunk.

 

i have a roll of that beutyl stuff can i use that? it looks like a big roll of black playdough

 

I would use urethane sealer...Most of the butyl tape stuff is not soft enough to conform and seal properly in window sealing apps...

 

what im using you can conform it to the window sill and its really thick, not like tape at all

 

Yes, its more like a thick string/rope but...I wouldnt take the chance...If it doesnt seal. You will have to take it and the glass out to re-seal it.

 

what forms does it come in?

 

Comes in a caulk tube.

 

Product looks like this...3M bedding and glazeing compound. This is what you want to use on windshield and back glass when installing it...

 

ok thanx for the info

 

I am confused on the subject of windshield sealants. Some say use butyl on the older cars and some say use urethane. Most say "flow grade butyl.

this is what they used the other day to seal my windshield...

 

could i use both the butyl rope and the sealer, rope between meatl lip and rubber gasket and then seal between the gasket and the body?

 

The issue with Urethane on older cars, is the car body will flex, and the gasket will flex along with it, if you lock it all in tight, it has no where to go, sometimes breaking the glass.

 

thats what i have herd too
