windshield install question

The factory used a sealant then and it is still used today where there isn't a gasket. Sealant is a insurance type extra effort to prevent a leak. Using it wouldn't cause a leak. Then again using sealant when pulling the glass in with a rope will make a freaking mess.

The one statement in the factory service manual that is most often ignored is check the fence and correct any bends.Make sure it is straight as possible.
Did this guy notice there isn't a fence along the bottom of your window bed. There's only a few small tangs so sealant would be mandatory there even if omitted everywhere else.
