The 3 suppliers have taken to selling you flat neoprenesheet to use as a
gasket. Like most on the list I could not get the darn stuffto work. And I
work in the glazing industry for 43 years. Even 3 guys tryingcould not get it
to work.

So what I did was to wet seal the windshield into place.
I first cut strips of electrical tape B>b long.
I then wrapped them around the edge of the glass. B<b onthe front, B<b is
the glass, B<b on the back.
I built up the wraps on top of each other until theymeasured the same
thickness as the space in the frame. I think it may have been7 wraps. Measure
to be sure.
I put 5 sets across the width and 3 in the height.
I then jammed the glass into the frame.
Make sure the margin of glass in the frame is the sameall round and not in the
way of the tenex.
Then I laid the glass down and caulked the glass intoplace with Dow 795
silicon sealant.
The tape in effect acted as a spacer.
When caulking do not b pullb the gun away from thecaulking bead. Instead
b pushb the gun into the caulking bead. That will forcethe caulk down
between the glass and the frame.
B
When I say donbt b pullb the caulking bead, its exactlywhat the guy on
the flex seal TV advertisement is doing. That is the wrong wayto caulk.
B
Clean up by gently scraping the wet caulk off thesurfaces you donbt want it
on with a flat razor.
B
Good luck.

If I recall vic brit had the best price.
