Windshield sealant (1 Viewer)

[Eurasiaoverland]

Installing a windcreen with a new weatherstrip. My old one had some sort of black sealant which was still sticky when it came out, I would guess it was butyl mastic of some sort.

Referencing the North American FSM for the Heavy Duty Land Cruisers, it shows two procedures. The general procedure is to put the weatehrstrip and windscreen in with only soapy water, then put sealant around the edges of the weatherstrip.

For Canada, an extra adhesive is used on the weatherstrip before installation:

Does anyone know what 'Cemedine 366' is made from? Seems like the product still exists, but are there Permatex/Loctite etc equivalents?

Or maybe someone else has a good product/procedure to get a windscreen in without leaks. I live on the equator and the rain is serious here!

I planned to use this stuff if mine leaked. Modern stuff my last window guy used I’m pretty sure

I had my windshield replaced some years ago by the guy who used to do all of TLC4x4 glass. In the thread is the materials and method he used.

New FJ60 Windshield, Professional Install

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...
