Thanks for watching! We actually have two videos for this install... did you see this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pXC1eA8xE4.html
Was there a reason they didn't use any sealant under the rubber and did a dry install? When they removed the old rubber there was old sealant from the factory....
These gaskets do not use sealant. What was under there was not factory sealant, it was someone's attempt at sealing a leak cause by old cracked rubber.
So the black around the entire pinch weld area was not old sealant? The reason, I want to just make sure because window installers have told me about the AGRSS standard for installing windshields.
@@colbylange5182 It certainly WAS sealant. However, we believe that was a previous owner, or installers attempt and sealing the windshield when the rubber was already needing to be replaced. We don't commonly run into sealant remnants when removing and replacing glass. We have never used a sealant on this type of gasket, and no issues have presented themselves immediately or over time. The AGRSS standard refers to best practices across all different glass and seal types, and we do not recommend using sealant as part of best practice on this type of seal.
I’m changing the windshield on a 94 g20 van, do you guys know if it’s the same glass as the pickup trucks? It has a very dumb system to seal it, i was wondering if i can use the same seal you used here… 🤔
You shouldn't have to stretch the seal at all. We have multiple videos on this installation, please take a look at the others and see if there is some detail you are missing.
You guys completely breezed over the hardest parts of doing this it is an absolute nightmare just to get the window to fit in the seal you should do a video of how to fold that lip over for the self-locking seal as well cuz that is also a nightmare that you need a really good video or someone to show you how to do it or you won't have the foggiest idea
In this case, we put it on a cotton ball and wiped the seal and window jamb with it. We've also used a silicone detail spray and just sprayed it on, but that creates a mess that's not easy to clean. Additionally, we've had good luck with a mild soap and water combination applied to the seal. Lots of options!
Here's a link to another video of ours where we did the same job and it may have some additional detail this video doesn't have: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pXC1eA8xE4.html
First, we used a small flat screwdriver to remove the center retaining clip. The used the same screwdriver to lift a small portion and worked our way around the seal to remove the trim.
Thanks for pointing that out! This was for TV and unfortunately there's a lot that ends up on the cutting room floor, however, we DID make a second video so we could show the whole job start to finish. Here's a link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pXC1eA8xE4.html
This was for TV so time was short, check this other video we did for the same installation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8pXC1eA8xE4.html
