chevygod Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 After dealing with the mess of clean up from butyl tape during a headliner replacement, I am wondering if there is something out there more akin to the factory adhesive "rubber/foam" used in original installs? The original stuff seals, does not remain tacky, and cleans up easily. GM was using it as late as 1984, my 84 Monte has it on the front window. I have also tried urethane, was not happy with it, as I have had issues with continued adhesion on an ElCo back window as well as incorrect seating depth on a MOnte windshield install. Some shops in Riverside County, California, won't install any older car windows with urethane that were butyl installed as they say urethane is not the correct material, and they no longer use butyl. Any thoughts? Best, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 71SSMC Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I used the urethane, You need to make some spacers out of foam tape or butyl so the glass sets to the propper depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tonemonte Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I used urethane on mine, actually, a glass guy did! Let them deal with the mess!! I have no problems at all, I think urethane is the way to go personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
