I had a guy replace my windshield gasket last year. He said he would follow the fsm pages that I printed for him but of course it still leaks.
After talking with him some more he told me that he used polyurethane between the body and the gasket but used silicone between the glass and gasket.
From reading the fsm it sounds like he should have used polyurethane between the glass and gasket instead of silicone.
Question #1: If the shop replaces the gasket again but uses polyurethane instead of silicone in-between the gasket and glass do you guys think it will fix the leak?
Question #2: If I have him redo the gasket should I source the Sitka flex urethane and primer listed in the FSM or let the shop use his own urethane and primer? The shop owner says all urethane is the same and the brand doesn't matter. He says he uses dow urethane and primer.
Thanks
