Could this work?

I have some Mono brand acoustic sealer in a caulking gun tube. It is pretty much just butyl rubber. Could it be used to seal windshield?

Hello reg1952, no and big no, acoustic sealant will flow when it gets hot and is awful to use, it is used for sealing poly vapor barriers as well as acoustic purposes.

Swing by an auto glass shop or a paint and body supply house, either will know what's available in your area.

Use the right butyl material. Not worth the risk.

Looks like the right stuff, I bought a tube of it but didnt use it, my seal fit pretty well so I am hoping for no leaks. If it leaks then I will add the sealer, looked like too messy of a job to try using it while installing the glass.

And I was always told there was never a stupid question. I went to a glass shop and they said they had not done a windshield like this in a long time and was pretty sure the 3m product was what I needed but where not sure so that's why I asked again. Sorry!!

It is good that you asked the question. I suspect that there are others that agree.

I agree, there are no stupid questions. Some people need some patience.

No I'm sorry no need to react like I did although I do find it odd that a glass shop wouldn't have or at least be able to order you the right stuff . Are you trying to fix leaks in a rubber gasket windshield or just wanting to put extra in when you install it ? If the rubber is in good shape it's rare that it would need sealer

I am also in Canada like reg1952, carpenter suggests using a specific sealant (which I cannot even find on the internet) the glass shop suggested a butyl sealant (which they cannot get any more) but sent me to a body shop supply (older guy there also said they could not get it any more and suggested to try it dry) the auto glass shop also thought I had 2 heads (young guy) and said they only use urethane, told him I was looking for a sealant not a glue? I was going to try "lumber yard butyl" but decided it looked too thick or heavy. The point is this is still a legitimate question.

I think what you proposed in post #7 is OK. Suggest that you call 3M or Eastwood.

There are also a number of seam sealers that stay pliable if you are trying to fix a small leak
