Glue In Windshield and Glass

[fordguy]

Thinking about glueing in my glass, but I need a decent mounding to cover the gap. This is the modern may and I like the look and the fact I don’t have to look for good gaskets. Does any one have experience or recommendations on what I can use to cover the gap?

Sounds like you already have the windshield glass that fits the gasket? My glass guy said he would cut a new piece of glass slightly larger so as to get rid of the gap for the gasket if I were to glue it in.

That is why I was asking about the trim moulding, might would allow me to use stick glass

Most glass shops have a selection of generic rubber trim to cover gaps. When I had a new windshield installed in my '96 Tacoma, the factory rubber trim was not easily available. The glass guy had a generic trim that he used, it looks great. I think he just stuck it down into the urethane that oozed out when he laid the glass in.

My guy said the same thing, custom piece of glass

That is what I am searching for, some self adhesive trim. Can you take a pic of the taco?

Sure.
