I've got the new windshield and trimless seal. I've located a local source for POR 15. But before I pull the old one out and start prepping for the new install, I wanted to have the sealant I'm going to use in hand. Looking on the NAPA site I see many listed.

When I last did this I used a NAPA sealant. Looking at old posts I found reference to NAPA MS 4121. This may be what I last used. I don't remember.

Can those of you who have done this talk to me about which sealant you have used? In Phil Singher's VClassics post on this topic he recommended using silicone, but I think I later read somewhere he suggested not to use silicone. I think the NAPA sealant is a butyl material. Is a 5 oz. tube sufficient for one windshield?

thanks!
