How to seal a windscreen

When replacing a windshield yourself, quality waterproof board you get is very important. You do not want the elements seep into the interior of your car due to a bad seal. With care and patience, you can create a good seal to seal the windshield of your car.

Instructions

  1. Remove the old gasket windshield opening. Be careful to remove all traces, particularly if the board has eroded in the frame.
  2. Place your new windshield on a kitchen table covered with a towel or a trestle covered with carpet. The surface on which you place the windshield must be padded to protect the glass, but also must protect the surface from dirt to be caused by windshield sealant application.
  3. Use a pencil to mark the bottom center of windshield glass. Use a tape measure to measure end to end to determine the true center.
  4. Place the gasket to the windshield, aligning the articulation with the pencil mark on the bottom. Arrange the gasket around the perimeter of the windshield.
  5. Apply joint sealant windshield (cement butyl) from below the front edge of the board. To do this, back up the edge of the board and brush sealant between it and the glass, making sure you do not miss anything. This is a dirty but essential to produce a quality seal work.
  6. Use a soap solution to lubricate the outer edge of the board or the windshield opening.
  7. Insert the cord window into the slot on the board of the windshield and ends with child inside the crystals.
  8. Place your windshield at the opening of the window. The best way is to put the inside first and then lower the top and push down.
  9. Get the lace ring groove to seal under the windshield.
  10. Use mineral spirits to clean the excess sealant windshield when you’re done.
