.....Whatever you install, just make sure they do the sealant on all sides, as described in the FSM.....
This is my FSM:
Doesn't say anything about USA vs Non-US.... And I think applying sealant errs on the side of caution. All the rust around the window I think speaks to the need for it.
Plus, the high-tech sealants now used were not avail back in the day... Why not take advantage?
Just my .02
The FSM only describes sealant for the installation of non-US style gaskets (General and Canada) that have no mechanical lock strips. The sealant is not used or listed in the FSM for lock strip style gaskets.
Update on mine:
Safe lite came out once with the wrong gasket, after I told them the Toyota part number on the phone.
Came again, and left without even trying when I pointed out my dash and headliner were perfect and I expected them to be that way when they finished.
Safe lite shop manager called and told me I has to bring it to his shop, 30 year experienced mechanic would take good care of it.
At the shop, they installed aftermarket gasket and windshield, gasket is an uneven mess. Fingerprints with sealant all over the place, (back door inside?!? WTF?!). I told my insurance not to pay and the manager said she would get O EM windshield and gasket and try again.
Three days later, insurance calls, tells me I have to find a shop who can do it, Safe lite won't touch my truck anymore. I tell them that finding qualified shops is their job. They are working on it.
:-( dammit.
Well the streak continues! I have NEVER heard anything positive about Safelite. It seems that usually anyone who has work done by them is unhappy.
As the others have indicated, find a independent shop.
