Windshield install

[miller]

Using new seal and oem windshield. Looks like the pros seal outer edge in picture before install. I am worried about making a complete mess if I do that.

Has anyone applied sealant around seal and windshield frame after its installed?

If I have to apply before install what sealant has a good working life ie not 1 hour fast cure!

3M Window Bedding Compund is what you're looking for here. It comes out as a kind of tarry paste with peanut butter consistency. It takes hours to cure, can be easily cleaned with mineral spirits and never cures fully hard.

Thread 'New FJ60 Windshield, Professional Install'

Feb 10, 2012

Had the windshield installed today 'cuz the old one was cracked and very pitted and was driving me nuts. There are a few threads on replacement, but none have all the info in one place, and since some materials have changed or become NLA, I'd thought I update the info and post the process here. Also, this THREAD is my futile search for a quality non-Chinese window. OE Toyota glass at roughly $1100 was not in da budget.

First of all, if you're in or anywhere near Los Angeles, I HIGHLY recommend :

Economy Auto Glass

I went with CRL 7708 for seal to body. It seems all the urethanes are fast cure and that concerned me being the install takes awhile. I sealed glass to window seal seam with urethane.

I just had a new windshield gasket put in today. Guys did a nice job but insisted that no sealant was used on the gasket that was removed nor did any need to be applied with the new one.

I produced the relevant FSM pages but they were unconvinced.

So the windshield is in and I’m wondering which product and how to apply it?

I would use the blue label between body and seal. You will be able to lift and get tip inbetween seal and body. Once cleaned up with mineral spirits I sealed windshield to seal with the urethane.

Thanks! I can see getting a nozzle between the body and outer seal but it’s really tight between the glass and inner seal. Best technique to get the urethane in there?

I just sealed the seam for the urethane.
