My chevelle had the ribbon caulk from the factory and it was still sticking on everything when i took the glass out after 30 + years, i used new ribbon again when reinstalling my windsheild. Also there is a issue with the spacing between the flange and the glass, the ribbon gives you the perfect spacing and a urethane may be a little more difficult to acheive the same thing.
Windshield Dilemma
I know everyone says to install the 3/8 or 5/16 ribbon tar like material on the windshield seal but the old guy that does all my glass work just told me not to use it because it will leak and dry out again.
He says he uses a dam kit and the urethane sealer and he has no trouble with trim fitments after wards.
I now have both seals I have tubes of the urethane plus I have the ribbon seals has anyone heard of this dam kit that goes around the inside of the glass and keeps the urethane in place?
