I hope they didn’t urethane those quarter glasses in.I installed glass for 2 years with Safelite, and I was a top ranked tech in the country. The person that installed my windshield was clearly untrained. The urethane adhesive is sloppy, they used a round bead instead of a pointed or triangle bead, the glass is decked too low and is uneven, and the trim clips are now mostly encapsulated in the urethane.
The trim is already off since I repainted front and rear glass trim. I have new clips and cowl hardware ready for when the glass gets installed correctly. If I still had access to the tools and materials to properly install glass I would do it myself.
Seeing this type of work I'm going to make sure the quarter windows were sealed with butyl and not polyurethane windshield adhesive.
Dumbasses. Why would they use urethane?I got the windshield resealed earlier this week. It took my friend at Safelite 3 hours to complete the job. Needless to say it was a mess. The pinchweld wasn't prepped at all, the old butyl was left on the car and they ran the urethane bead over it. He managed to save the glass and now all is good up there.
Curiosity got me and I had to find out what they used to seal the quarter windows. You guessed it, they are bonded to the body now with urethane. That makes it virtually impossible to remove them without damaging the car, and they can't be removed without breaking them.
I'm still waiting on some parts to be able to finish the doors, but I'm close to finishing and being able to enjoy it.
CT?But then I'm a trouble maker.
