Sweet. Tool’s ordered, found a set of clips for when the old ones disintegrate when I take the trim off.
Pulled the car into the back of the shop on my lunch and taped off the seam around the window trim on my lunch break. Used a Bondo spreader to push sealant into the top and side seams between the trim and roof and A-pillars.
Driving to work, I had water running down the inside of the windshield driving to work and a small puddle on my passenger floor mat (all weather mats luckily) when I went outside on my first break.
Not a drop to be seen on the way home. Hopefully it lasts till the weekend when I have time to actually pull the windshield and let the car sit.
It’s kind B/S they won’t let you reuse your factory glass (at least, at all the few big name places and couple small shops I called in, Illinois). They said it’s for insurance, warranty and over all seal quality but, I can’t help but feel it’s just to drive up the cost. What if you have a legit classic with original glass that’s concave, bubbled, rounded, ect...what then? Do you still have to up your ticket to expensive custom ordered glass? I guess it all comes down to who/what you know and what you can do. I’m not spending $250 on glass I don’t need though, I can tell you that right now, lol.
EF EN B/S.
