Just had my front and rear windows put in my 52 cab last weekend.
I know for sure that there was no sealant used before/during/after the
installation of either window..... should there be and how would I
do it? Where would it go? What should be used and how?

If I don't need it, thats ok also.

Thanks

 

You probably don't need any on the rear window but you definitely do on the front. I didn't use any and it leaked. I never have gotten a concrete response as to what specific sealer should be used so I'd like to know too. I'll be installing my new windshield soon...

 

Yeh I know, we all work so hard and put in so much time etc that
I hate to have water ruin all that I have done inside the cab.
If someone would point me to a document that will show and tell where
to put this stff, i can do it.

 

I put mine in without any sealant, but it never rains here, and if it did, I wouldn't be out driving in it (no wipers at the moment). I don't get any leakage when washing it with a garden hose, but if you shot a high-pressure spray on it, I bet it would weep. Nothing like the vent tho.

The sealant to use is butyl rubber. Do not under any circumstances use a silicone-based sealant, they will cause rust. Butyl remains pliable, and is available at paint/body shop supply houses in cartridges like caulk. If they have a nozzle made specifically to lift the rubber, sort of a flat shoe, they are well worth getting.
