Re: Windshield Sealant around Stainless Molding

Howard, you show exactly what I was thinking of for this application. I had a '41 160 that had been restored in Phoenix, AZ. The two piece windshield glass was new as was the windshield gasket. The first time I had it out in an East Coast rainstorm it leaked pretty badly at both bottom corners. The leak on the left side drenched my left shoe and pant leg every time I operated the clutch. I guess they don't get much rain out in Phoenix. Anyway, I bought the flowable silicone at Pep Boys (now $4.99 here) and spread it along the windshield's lower edge. Unlike regular silicone that just beads where you put it, the flowable silicone soaks into the crevice between the gasket and glass. It stopped the leaks entirely. I'd recommend it to anyone dealing with this condition.
