I'm restoring a '76 PB, windshields are out, and the windshield gasket has partial tears in both upper outer corners. The tears are on the inner edges and ~1/2 of the gasket width on both interior and exterior lips. Other than that the gasket is in great shape.
I'm concerned about the gasket tearing more/completely during installation. If it tore completely during installation I'd be screwed. Just using windshield caulk to fill the gaps, whether during or after installation, doesn't do it for me.
The questions:
- what material is the gasket? Neoprene? EPDM? Other...?
- has anyone used the cyanoacrylate adhesives such as 3M Scotch-Weld Plastic & Rubber Instant Adhesive, or Loctite 401 that glue elastomeric materials?
TIA
