But I had a body shop check it out and they told me what he did wrong. Insurance made me have the same guy come back to fix it, but I was never happy. Looked like crap too because he put so much caulking in the gaps.
99% of windshields no longer have a gasket seal, they are installed using SIKA Fast II Glass Urethane, they only come with an appearance molding on top so this would not be the issue. The issue would be the way the glass was set into the opening with urethane hopefully with no gaps in the urethane when he set his bead & placement from top to bottom & side to side?
