Re: Question about windshield install

When I put the windshield in my truck, I used the Precision gasket and it took a buddy and I around an hour to install.

I too did not think that sealant was necessary. I later found out that I needed when a small leak developed.

After reading the assembly manual, it recommends sealing the upper corners, 6" along the horizontal and 6" along the vertical edges. After picking up a tube of sealer from my local glass shop and applying the sealer, the leak disappeared and has been leak free.

It was fairly easy to peel back the gasket and put a small bead along the edges and then let the gasket return. Clean up the excess and you would never know.
