I believe the "foam" is meant to support the windshield while the urethane adhesive cures, but I've always considered it as a dam. You could've bought a roll of universal windshield trim/ glass seal (25' is about $30) that could've been embedded in the sealant you used, which not only would've simplified the process but would've given professional results as well.
So, here's my opinion on screws versus rivets: I'm not a fan of pop rivets and I think it's generally easier to work with screws. Screws are removable so if something doesn't go right during installation, they can be easily removed. Rivets will sometimes get stuck while setting them and not pull in the metal. The bus was originally built with screws so it's also a form of conformance.
Sir! Not to rush you but I have an urgent question. I have a torn Batman 1989 polyurethane mask and was wondering if this roof sealant would be good enough to seal the tear. (I have already applied it by the way)
It’s a sealant, not an adhesive so it’s not the strongest product you can use. But, I think it should work well for your application depending on the nature of the damage, the type of material being repaired, how the surfaces are prepared, and how the sealant is applied. I imagine you could apply the product to the back side and maybe use a reinforcement like patching a bicycle tube. Test the following trick first on something else: Try using wax paper over the sealant so you can smooth it out, let fully cure, than peal off the wax paper. I’ve used the wax paper trick successively with Gorilla Construction Adhesive. Best of luck with your project.

@@hakunamatataadventurebus5944 well, the tear in the mask is less than 2 inches long and the mask itself is made out of polyurethane the same material in the product. I have already taken your advice and put an elastic patch on the inside of the tear. Let me know if this is good enough, and thanks
Gosh, this was a long time ago. I think over night for full cure. Check out what I found at Lowe's PL Roof & Flashing 10-oz Black Paintable Polyurethane Caulk www.lowes.com/pd/LOCTITE-PL-Roof-Flashing-10-oz-Black-Paintable-Polyurethane-Caulk/1002441008
Thank you for your comment! Yes, I know I ramble on. But, I like to share my knowledge and experiences as best as I can. Putting together high quality videos is pretty hard for me to do and editing takes a lot of time that I don't have. Live long and prosper my friend! :)
