    Is it ok to use 3M Urethane sealer to touch up windsheild leaks

    IF i knew i would never have to replace the glass, i would use urethane, but as it is a gasketed application, i would say use the butyl. it can be softened with mineral spirits, if it needs to be removed. but urethane, once cured, is forever.

    Driveshaft Question

    standard type is good... you cant weld on a rubber filled drive shaft. when you say extended, i assume you mean a new tube with the existing yokes, right? thats the cheapest route, and any good drive shaft shop can handle it.
