Thanks for the great (two-part) series. I have watch carefully and read a bunch of your comments below. Just to quadruple confirm - am I correct that the total number of sealant (urethane) beads you use is three? First bead (seen in video part 1) goes onto the rubber seal after it is installed onto the windshield. Second bead (seen in video part 1) goes onto the car before windshield installation. Third bead (seen in video part 2) goes into the seal (around window) after the windshield is installed. With only those three urethane beads (and nothing more) you are achieving a water-tight seal, correct? Thanks again!!!
If you are doing a factory headliner, you do need the windshield and backglass out to install it. If you use our ABS headliner, you don't have to remove them and you gain 2 1/2 inches of head room.
BEST VIDEO I'VE FOUND THUS FAR ON WINDSHIELD INSTALL AS WELL AS TRIM MOLDING INSTALL, WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE INSTALL VIDEOS FROM YOU, LIKE YOUR SIDE SCOOPS, AND FRONT NOSE FIBERGLASS PIECE. IVE SEEN ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONAL INSTALL ON WINDSHIELD AND EVERY ONE A LITTLE DIFFERENT, YOU DONT SEEM TO ADD SEALANT AFTER WINDOW INSTALLED AROUND PERIMITER OF GASKET? (IN BETWEEN BODY FRAME AND GASKET?)
In smaller print at the bottom it says mineral spirits. Actual paint thinner would DESTROY the paint job. We have some video of the black car we will be posting.
Oh I forgot to ask. Did the black mustang have the california special trunk and encaps. It looked a little different from the front end viewpoint. It looked like some other type of little trunk lid lip.
Does the urethane stick to the rubber gasket? Mine did not. I actually have to pull my window back out as my clips need to be pulled out more to grab the moldings. I will be a pro at windshields soon enough!
I learned so much in these 2 videos. Question 1: do you install the vinyl headliners before setting the glass typically. (haven't watch the headliner one yet).When I removed my glass I saw it under the rubber gasket. Question 2: they make 1 piece plastic headliners? did not know that. thanks for the great info.
I see a lot of guys adding a tone of sealant to the top of the outside gasket it looks like a big mess, I see you only add the sealant between the glass and the gasket, I won't have any issues with leaks? Also did you add stink black strips to the inside gasket? great video!
@@kevintimothyshields you can clearly see in this video as he puts the trim back on that there is no sealer on the outside where the clips are. between gasket and body. the first video he applies sealer on the inside between glass and gasket. both sides need sealer or it will leak.
@@scottlevy3274Thanks for the reply, appreciate the help! In the two videos he applies a total of three beads of sealant. In video 1 (ua-cam.com/video/vr7Prioj9Xo/v-deo.html) he applies two beads - one on the seal before putting the window on the car, the second on the car around the clips. In this video 2 he applies the third bead - urathane into the window channel. Scott are you advocating for a forth bead? (Genuine question - not trying to debate you, just wanting to understand what you are saying is all - thanks!)
Hi , I used your vidéos for mounting my windshield and back window on my 65 Mustang FB , do you know urethane coumpound doesn't stick on EPDM weatherstrip , only on glass , métal , plastic. It makes a perfect fit between glass and weatherstrip but doesn't stick ( just a little ) on EPDM It is annoying or not ? You can try .
Shouldn't you also seal between the gasket and body? That's how it was done at the factory. I'd imagine you'd get a lot more water through that area than you would between the gasket and windshield.
Good video and getting ready to replace my windshield in a 66 Mustang the only thing I question using urethane sealer between the glass and the gasket I watched other videos and read were urethane seal is not recommended any place on this type of install were you use it on the outside between the glass and windshield gasket . This video is about 7 years old you still stand behind and recommend using urethane sealer ?
The glass went in perfect the wire trick worked perfect allowing the gasket to pull over the windows edge and seat into place...plan to add the 3M sealant and add the trip.
I watched the first video and this one . Made the job easy. Just waiting to cure an extra day before testing for water leaks. Will update with results
That's not ur first claim chowder. Excellent work buddy.
And that's the way it is boys!!!! Love it
this video is the best thing since sliced bread.. thank you so much guys.
Really good video. Gives me the confidence to tackle what I thought would be a very difficult job.

The urethane ONLY goes between the gasket and the glass, the rest of the sealing is with liquid butyl.

Actually I do.
Like all pros... ya made it look easy. Thanks
The black Mustang has our rear spoiler and end caps on it, Next week we will have a full fiberglass deck lid. The front end is our own SR nose.
Did yall use a caulk 'rope' on the inside prior to the exterior sealant? Yalls way seems to be WAY cleaner than others I've watched. Appreciate it!
Video's have been the way to go to show people how to do installs.

GREAT SET of videos on this

You better believe it sticks, providing your gasket it clean.

I only seal between the glass and the gasket after it's installed with urethane, NOT bedding compound.
why no sealer on the outside between gasket and body over the clips?
I believe he did(?). This is video 2 in a two part series. The seal you are asking about was applied in video 1 (yes/no?)?

The urethane will stick fine between the glass and gasket, try breaking it loose after its cured for some time 😂
You said Mineral Spirits but the bottle says Paint Thinner. Are they the same thing? Beautiful car.
Shouldn't you also seal between the gasket and body? That's how it was done at the factory. I'd imagine you'd get a lot more water through that area than you would between the gasket and windshield.

You better watch the video again, I seal between the gasket and the body.

I watched other videos and read were urethane seal is not recommended any place on this type of install were you use it on the outside between the glass and windshield gasket . This video is about 7 years old you still stand behind and recommend using urethane sealer ?
Yes, I do. The urethane is a stronger seal rather then a gummy liquid butyl. Modern vehicles all use urethane.
Excellent thanks looking forward to it!
Great tips! Did you add any sealant to the inside gasket before installing the glass or was the only sealant added was the U 418? Thanks
I only seal between the gasket and the glass after it's installed.
I have a 71 Torino, can the rear glass go in the same way,? Urethane sealer after glass/gasket installed?
Yes it can
i'm putting my headliner in this week. cross your fingers.
Also, different question was the metal trim that goes along the dash pad and the glass installed before or after the glass? Thanks!
The trim goes on after the glass is in. You would never be able to rope it in with the molding installed.
The glass went in perfect the wire trick worked perfect allowing the gasket to pull over the windows edge and seat into place...plan to add the 3M sealant and add the trip.
Michael Texmjs I use a rope, not wire.
After the glass is installed.
Is it a factory one or our ABS headliner ?
Does mustangs to fear sele the rubber gaskets
We have windshield gaskets but they are not on our shopping site. You have to call in.
