I read the article by Wes Vann and a post by Martinsr regarding windshield install. They both describe using the above product. I checked the 3M website and it has part number 08611 for the 5\16 inch ribbon. I live in Canada and it seems no one stocks it in my city. I will be in the great US of A next week. Is this kit available at the chain auto supply stores, like NAPA, Checker, Champion, etc? Please advise who is likely to stock it so I can buy 2 kits, one for front and one for rear windows. The articles are great by the way. Installing in my 65 malibu.

I always get mine at the local auto body supply house. Most parts stores don't seem to carry them.

Check at an Autozone. They used to carry it in my area, but I'm not sure if they still do. You could also check with autoglass companies while you're here. They may be willing to sell you some.

Ditto what Elli said. I bought mine at the local automotive paint supply store.

thanks guys. I'll check auto body supply or glass installers in your neck of the woods next weeks.
