Just some final thoughts of windshield installation or leak repair.
Butyl tape vs the new 'Professional' just glue it in installation.
I've seen the GraveNerdCurz episode with the Challengers windshield installation where Marks 'Pro' just goop's up the 'fence' (channel) and lays the windshield in without using a Butyl Strip (tape) not what the FSM instructs us to do. This was on a very 'Rare' Challenger (aren't they all?). You know the one where in a previous episode the 2 goons broke the all original OEM windshield upon removal. Also Nick's Garage Kowalski Challenger rear glass install where they did the same, his 'Professional' guy glue it in installation like 3 times because they couldn't get the trim to snap in correctly. Nick tossed it up to the wrong trim clip screws were sent too him, but I think the bead of adhesive may have been too thick, you would think just maybe they would figure out the screws by the 2nd try
Here is why doing it the FSM way with the Butyl tape is important, to get the glass to sit correctly and the trim to fit in correctly and be able to have enough space in the channel for water to drain and dry out. Adhesive applied to thick (I know they got different size tips) will make the trim hard to snap in. Plus to much adhesive/sealant clogging up the channel may trap water and not allowing it to drain properly and may lead to rusting issues. The Butyl tape (get the correct size/thickness) is just to set the glass at the proper height so the glass sits just right for trim fitting, the water curing sealer is to be just applied along the edge of the glass and Butyl tape not fill the channel. Here more is not good, apply just what you need to seal leaks via the water test.
3M still makes these products, I don't have specific part numbers, all I relied on in the day was my experienced NAPA parts counter guys for the correct size tape and sealer. You can check the Mopar parts manual in the common hardware section for maybe recommended sealer and tape size. If not be careful with glass removal to preserve a section of butyl tape to measure.
Do it right and you will have a leak free glass install with correct fitting trim. (and easily removable trim)
Do it wrong or sloppy and you may have glass that sits to low leaving a trim gap that will allow debris (leaves/pine needles) to get into the channel and retain moisture leading to channel rust. Too much adhesive/sealer may make the glass sit to high making the trim hard to install and could lead to glass cracks.
Good Luck! and remember;
