windshield tape
I'm installing a new windshield on my 31 Roadster and wondering if anyone has used this tape https://www.bobdrake.com/glasssettingtape and how well it worked.

Re: windshield tape
I don't know anything about roadsters, but I do know about a 29 ccaa truck windshield install. The Model A suppliers sell bedding tape .048 thick, it was a snug fit, my frame was sandblasted, primer and paint, used soap and water to lube, used a bar clamp and a piece of wood with a slot cut in it the width of the glass, what a pain it was.
carry on |

Re: windshield tape
You might as well use the correct stuff. Mitch on one of the other forums and sells some setting material that looks pretty close to the original stuff. I would use his instead.

Re: windshield tape
If your frame is getting thin, you may want to take it to a glass man and have him silicon it in.
It will help hold it all togther. Not original, but a bit like those new ceramic tooth fillings that are carved from a block and glued in, and hold your tooth together. And they taste better than the old ones made from mercury. |

That is Mitch that is selling it in that auction. I mentioned contacting him in post #3. He is the Administrator of the Forum that is mentioned in the eBay listing. |
