 |
|
Someone asked about sealing the windshield. Personally, I think the whole strip caulk thing is a dumb idea.
Using a canopy bow seal around the base of the windshield is a lot of work too, but, it won't leak. The only problem I've seen is the left side working its way up the window after a year or so. Weird.

Gary, are you using the black RTV that is used for the bow for the base of the w/s also? If so are you applying the bonding agent to the w/s like you do for the bow?

I glue the canopy bow seal (it's the flat seal at the front of the canopy bow) to the bottom of the windshield with contact cement.

Ok I understand now. Don't you worry about the sun eventually destroying it?

Hadn't thought about the sun. I've had mine in there for 8 years.
