Hi there 😊 I was watching your video the other day because my pos kia rubber around my windshield has been flapping in the breeze. I went to Al's auto and was told to use permatex windshield and glass replacement. I bought it but im worried if this is the right stuff to use, because the man working there didnt seem to understand what i was doing and had to look it up. That made me nervous lol Im worried to put the wrong thing on my windshield... its getting worse with the hot sun too. The sealant that was there already is black and sticky. Please help 🙏 ❤
@raytheglass 19 күн бұрын
I hope you didn't listen to him. Permatex is a liquid used to repair a gasket sealed in an engine or a radiator and has nothing to do with fixing the exterior of a car or car molding. I suggest getting a small tube of 3 oz Natural silicon from Home Depot, Walmart, or a regular hardware store. If you need help, you can call me at 845-496-2500. If I don't answer, please leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP. When leaving a message, please also provide your cell phone number so I can help you further. Please let me know what type of Kia you have. If you can upload a photo that you can take with your cell and send it to my email address at [email protected]. Thank you!

@raytheglass 28 күн бұрын
The tape itself does not do the damage. It is removing the adhesive. That can cause damage. It definitely will hurt the clear coat. Also have the risk. That the adhesive is so strong. It will pull the molding. Right back off. So masking tape is your best option or painters tape.

Actually the best silicone adhesive if you were to use such. Would be a non-latex based silicone. It is a stronger. Silicone where The latex-based Silicon has a rubber Constitution. You don't need waterproofing. Like you would for a bathroom tub. latex-based silicone Does it ahear better on plastic?

I have a 2013 Toyota Prius and went through a carwash and ripped my top windshield molding. I ripped part of it off because it was flapping, but on the left and right side, I can't get the molding off because I think it's held on by clips. Is there a way to get that off without removing the windshield?
@raytheglass 2 ай бұрын
Look under the molding that's loose. Look and see if there is a clip underneath the molding. If there is, take the silicone glue over the clip and then tape the molding down. However toyota does sell the moulden clips. If you have a plastic stick, you can remove the molding from the other clips. Now I never showed how to get those moldings back on but you basically would use the bottom part of your hand and snap it in from left to right. Make sure you hit just a molding.Although it would be difficult to break the windshield. But the easy part would just be to glue the molding down from the inside of the pinch weld.

I ordered a cheap new mirror from RockAuto (or your typical auto parts store). Then I happened upon Ray’s videos and parts website. Man am I lucky I did that. I was about to cause myself a whole bunch of headaches and extra work. Thank god I watched his videos and gave him a call. He walked me through the process and sold me the correct mirror - which for my application is a fit over style. Not a replacement version. I was ready to pry my old mirror off. Likely I would have ruined the heating element in the process. And then put on a crappy made in Mexico mirror that would likely blind me. Ray got me the correct mirror. And gave me the right advice on how to install it - saving me a ton of time headaches and costs. That inexpensive mirror would have cost me more in the short run in pain and aggravation. I paid a few extra dollars to Internet Glass, but well worth it to get the right product and the wisdom to install it. I believe in the adage “you get what you pay for”. Ray was helpful and followed up our discussion with emails, links to additions install videos and friendly advice. Nice to see that this kind of service still exists in America. And here is the best part. Ray is super knowledgeable. Clearly he has been in the industry for several decades. If you got a glass problem, likely he has the knowledge to help you through it. Watch his videos. Call him for advice. Most likely importantly. Order his products. That’s the value of his business versus a chain store. As a final note on my install. I compared the mirror I got on Rockauto to to the mirror I got from Ray. It was the wrong mirror and would not have worked. Ray knew that simply by my giving him the part number. This is wisdom you don’t often see in business and it’s worth every penny.

Corning which developed the Product and the Copywrite, usually does not manufacture their own Glass. What they do is sell the license to manufacturers to make it under their name. So the East Coast of the US will get the glass from France. West Coast and Canada get it from China. However, China does not have the License. Japan outsources it to China. Pyroceram III from France now only does the rolling of the product, but now it's sent back to the US for Annealing, which is needed to allow cutting of the glass. Robux, Neopream, are the names of the products from China.

This is NOT what you do. NEVER USE SILICONE EVEN IN A PINTCH. It is obvious the molding is not sitting back in correctly. owner should have called who installed the windshield to redo it. but seriously, SILICONE is extremely hard to get off things. Now when this guy needs a new windshield it will either not be safely installed or the installer will simply not touch the car. (if he is smart)
@raytheglass 7 ай бұрын
The car was 10-odd years old, and the second owner did not know where it was installed. Also, the windshield was installed on the pinchweld and the molding is on the body side of the pinchweld. You are correct though. If that windshield was ever replaced later, the installer would need to scrape off that silicone. What is really damaging would be the use of airborne contamination. As I have said previously, I used silicone because if accessible for the consumer. Ever primerless Urethane does NOT bond to RUBBER, in which you need to use another special primer. So yes. Silicone worked.

By the way, my rubber strip isn't as sturdy/hard as the one on your video. Thanks in advance for your answers, much appreciated!

But I bought the 2023 at the end of 22 and broke someone broke just the glass itself in a parking lot and NO ONE had the piece so I had to go w just replacing the "glass" only using the existing frame.

I had a 10' by 12" factory pellet stove window shatter at "candle" temps. The stove had run in the same level location for 3 years, some times at constant high heat, but this was an initial startup for the season and the stove (a tiny 35,000 btu unit) was only simmering on it's lowest (idle) temp for about 2 hours when we heard a giant pop and I saw the glass spider. It's a narrow bur DEEP stove and the burn-pot is actually set about 6 inches back from the door in this unit. The pot is a basket style that directs the flame straight up and nowhere near the door. Nothing was within 10 feet of the stove, and heat was obviously not the issue as I could even touch the cracked glass (stove still burning) with my hand. Any ideas, sir?
@raytheglass 7 ай бұрын
Odd. If it worked for 3 years and then a crack developed I would say that maybe the high-temperature Fiberglass Gasket Failed and the glass was hitting metal on the inside. Or if the heat at one point exceeded 1500 deg then that could be the cause. I am assuming the glass was never replaced. You know there is a thing insurance Companies use which is damaged due to "An act of God". Call me at 845-496-2500 as I would love to speak to you on this.

You could use a high-heat sealant similar to Concrete. In Home Depot it is called Woodstove Sealant. I have a sand-type sealant. I do tell people to buy that if say a crack developed the glass, and to use it temporarily so the air does not affect the burn or incoming smoke before they get the new glass.

2003 Toyota matrix, is the seal around the windshield the type that wraps around the edge of the glass? It's been working it's way out for a while, had it rtv'd back down in a couple of spots, but now I have a leak inside the driver side, top of the pillar and the middle of the molding. Glass guy wanted $500 to replace the windshield, I balked at that, then he insisted the moonroof drains were clogged. I cleared those yesterday and still got two inches of water in the driver floorboard. I'm pretty sure it's the windshield seal. Is this the kind of seal I can replace myself? (Preferably before winter, lol)
@raytheglass 7 ай бұрын
Without seeing the car, I would say if it just started to leak but did not leak after the replacement then you have what I call Windshield Cancer when the windshield was installed the Glass Tech did not prime the scratches and now RUST has compromised the seal of the windshield. Yes, it is an old Car. The other thing that can cause a leak in the corner is the Drip Rails along the top side of the car could be rusted or cracked where water is getting into the car via the inside pillar molding. I would use clear silicone using my finger to embed the sealant. If you let me know your location I can set you up with a glass shop that will glue the corner from the inside using a primerless urethane. That method however is a last resort in your case. Call me at 845-496-2500 so we can talk about this.

Well there are many other reasons why you windshield leak on your floor mats. First the small lip molding that connects with the Cowl, by no means a water barrier. Totally cosmetic. To just talk about the bottom strip, they have a problem of shrinking. But again water will always go through it. To fix a Cowl molding that shrinks is to put it in a bucket of Mr Clean Warm water will help that strip regain some of its shrinkage. So to apply it back, its a lip push in molding. Stretch it as you go, and no need for glue. So i am assuming your windshield is leaking. If that is the case then yes, I could do a video. But write me back on what is going on.
