I am about to install hard top windows in my 76 model using the old weatherstrips.
According to the factory manual you shall use an adhesive between body and WS, and a sealer around the glass.
Any idea what adhesive and sealer this is?
I have some non-hardening bitumen based stuff I used on the wind shield, but that is some sticky stuff I would prefer not to use.
I did the same installation on my 80 some years ago, and according to the 80 manual no adhesive or sealer is to be used.
However, I used non-hardening silicone grease on that WS and have not had any leakage.
I Like the silicone grease as it also softens the WS and makes the install easier. So what do you think. Will it be OK to only use silicone, and skip the adhesive?
