windscreen glue, tape or....
What’s the best way to fit a windscreen into the windscreen surround? The book from uncle Ron says “seal it in with silicone bath sealant”.
The point is, glueing the windscreen in its surrounding is not a problem with special window –kit. But I think it would be hard to obtain from each
other when the screen is cracked. Or is “glass setting tape” better (when I can find such tape here in the Netherlands).
What would you guys recommend?

you can get some small thin rubber 'p' section that you may be able to use on both sides of the glass into the frame.
leaves a nice bead all round.

hi there,
Lolocost http://www.lolocost.co.uk/ASPpages/part_details.asp?PartID=71
sell a rubber strip for the job for the job. I decided to use silicon one my first car but have opted for polythurethene pannel seal. It is real good
stuff sticks like nothing else.
Second build. Now refining and changing drive train

Hi, used silicone for mine,cracked the screen later, (through my stupidity), and had no trouble getting the brocken one out. Just sliced the seal with
a stanley knife, pulled out the busted one and put the new one in, again sealed with silicone. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Iwouldn't use silicon, it's fine if the screen cracks but if it's a toughened screeen and it gets hit with astone then it
willshatter and be a bugger to get out, use a rubber U channel.
