sixxer Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It’s been waaaaaay to long since my car has had a windshield in it... I’ve heard that there should be some sort of rubber spacer to space up the windshield from the metal of the car. Does anybody know how thick these spacers are and where they are installed around the frame? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The spacers are for the bottom edge of the windshield glass so the glass does not slide down toward the lower sheetmetal and keeps the glass centered in the opening...not for placement under the glass. If you use the original butyl tape there are different sizes to space the windshield "out" away from the body. If using the newer urethane sealer/glue the size of the bead which the installer squeezes out of the tube determines placement of the glass. Sorry, I dont know the size of the rubber spacers but they are usually in the butyl tape kits. Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
