164 interior water leak 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be linc on  Wed Feb 20 08:47 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'm curious--is the rope seal you describe made of butyl? And did you use any other kind of adhesive of sealant? I ask because I'm just about to reset my windshield and the volvo green book talks about putting adhesive around the windshield lip, then apply the butyl, then put adhesive on the windshield itself and then installing and applying pressure to seat it all around. Takes a couple of days to cure. Does this sound about right?

I worry that the butyl ends up being the only thing that really holds the windshield to the car, with the adhesive holding the butyl to the car and glass.
