Windshield Replacement

Will one tube of urethane be enough to install the windshield back on to my 87 Firebird? Also, what is the length of the Black Moulding that goes around the windshield?

No, 1 tube will not be enough...you will need 2 (unless your doing something very wrong). The molding...guess 3' on each side 4' on the top..thats a guess.

i agree with three, but make sure that it is one continuous beed, when you run out, push back into the bead than pull off the panel. than do the same to start the new tube. remeber, with the lamanated glass, and the urethane, your front windsheld is a structural component of your car. your windshield is the only thing to divert the impact energy into the roof and door in a collision.
