Windshield question
The rubber gasket surrounding the windshield has come loose. Any particular/specific adhesive needed to reattach safely? Thanks.

They make a specific sealer for that. Check you local auto parts store.

If it were me I'd just go to the local auto glass shop. Probably cost next to nothing and be done by a pro. Check it out. Good luck to you.

This is the only thing that makes sense. There's more to it than meets the eye to get it right.

I would definitely go to an auto glass store and have them secure the windshield properly. The windshield is part of the structural integrity of vehicles nowadays.

I had Safelite replace the windshield in my work van last year. When the gasket lifted up, they sent out a guy and he squirted a black sealant into the lifted area, pressed the gasket back down, taped it and told me to take the tape off the next day.

Hasn't lifted back up since!

Lifted up the gasket resealed it and checked for leaks. No problem. Took it to car wash to check it out a week later. No leaks
