    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    This is great info, thanks! Learn something new everyday here. The question that begs to be asked is how do you make an installer put eurethane per the FSM? You're not going to be standing around in the shop while they do this project. You can make copies of the FSM pages then turn them over...

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    I don't have to wait a year, I can wait for the next snow storm to see if it'll leak. Also, the glass I installed 16 years ago also didn't have urethane and it never leaked. That was PWG glass + OEM gasket. No need to be sorry, it's your opinion. Also the FSM is from '96 and technology has...

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    This is an interesting point and I'll put in my .02 cents worth. You DON'T need sealant because the glass that I had installed 16 years ago didn't have any and it never leaked. Sealant is a band aid from what I learned yesterday. If the gasket and the glass are mated perfectly, nothing...

    So, try this exercise to see if your glass actually has the correct dimensions. Push out the glass from the inside and see if it moves. My installer yesterday did this test and immediately noticed the movement.

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    Alright, here's some low for for all of us. Windshield shops nowadays DO NOT apply sealant to the gasket during installation. None was used on the first install and none was used yesterday. The installer who knows his stuff, been in the industry for 20 years says our OEM gaskets do not get...

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    It's time for an update. So, I took the 80 back to the glass shop, they dripped some water from a plant watering jug but no water entered inside. Told them about the shimmy, tech tried to move the glass this way and that, couldn't figure it out so he sent me home two tubes of their adhesive...

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    Thanks fellas, I'll peak inside both mating surfaces to see if sealant was used. Tomorrow suppose to be a tad warmer so I'll need to heat up the gasket a tad before trying to peak inside. I'm hoping the shop will do me right as I have a history with them going back a decade but if not, I do...

    Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads

    I had a new windshield + new OEM rubber weatherstrip installed this summer. As the temps are dropping, the windshield is shimmying while going over bumps. Should I squeeze in some windshield urethane between the glass and the weatherstrip, then again between the body and the weatherstrip? Or...
