Installing a new windshield on a 1965 marlin, watched on you tube how to install on 65-68 Mustangs,
they showed putting in the windshield first then adding the Urethane (between the gasket and glass) and the Butyl (gasket to body seam) AFTER. My question is can you use this method, because the mustangs don,t have reveal molding like the marlin.

I think you misunderstood them, you don't use urethane with a rubber gasket windshield, nor butyl.
You use flowable grade seam sealer, or bedding compound, are made by 3M, Norton , NAPA, and other suppliers. You best chance of getting a leak free installation is by putting the bedding compound on before you put the glass in the gasket, and around the pinch weld to gasket area before you lay the windshield in the opening. It is messier, but you won't have much luck trying to get in to whatever gaps there may be, once that tight gasket is installed. I found this out early on in my bodywork career.. We didn't sublet window installation to someone else, back in the 70s when I started a bodyman did it all. Body work, painting, frame work, window R&R and vinyl tops.

LOL - with some of the stuff i'e seen on youtube, I suspect it's possible they were using all of that stuff.
Some stuff is quite good, but like web sites, and all sorts of other things, anyone can do something right or wrong, and put up a video about it.
(you'd especially not use butyl with a rubber seal, wow, that would be thick and messy) |
