Windshield gasket positioning

[GreggT]

That gasket is narrow and barily covers the gap........even if the glass is centered well .

I think I recalled a post some time ago where I think there was a reference the goop actually holding the gasket in place? I know some people fill the gap (between surround & glass) with goop or sealer just to lower the chances of the squeek.....but, can it also be for holding that gasket in place so it can't move & curl in ??

I found an old TSB that says: "...the gap between the glass edge and the car body should be

sealed with Bostic 6050 (999.915.299.40)."

Interesting Loren..........does it sound like that Bostic 6050 is the sealant used for the whole job?......or just for filling that gap?

I was not around for the install but last notes I had from my last glass change said Porsche detailed a2-part adhesive to 'set' the window......my scribble says 000-043-203-42 two-part epoxy.......but, like I say, I was not there this time.

This is a 1995 C4............did that windshield part number change from 1994?

There was a windshield change based on VIN. Window sealant is also shown in the parts list below.

The Bostic 6050 is used to fill gaps between glass and body (after a repair) - according to the TSB.
