Installing Windshields and Backglass


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for advice on installing windshields and backglass. No matter how hard I try to be careful, I always get small areas of dried glue showing around the edges of the glass from the outside. I have been using the regular Testors glue in the red labeled tube, which is probably the wrong stuff for this application. Also, depending on the kit, there is usually not much room around the perimeter of the glass for the glue, which is part of the problem. What type of glue do you guys use? How do you install the glass? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

I use the Testors windshield glue which is basically the same as Elmers white glue Rob mentioned. The advantage with the Testors is the applicator. I usually place my glass where I want it,then run a bead of glue around it and let it "wick".
