Yes the early 80s mustang had butyl but when we replace them we have to spend a lot of time and clean it out so urethane can safely put in it's place. Go to agrss.com to learn more. Yes this news video is a good thing. Hackers and short cutters go work in another trade. Thanks
@Haffo2112 Thank you for your insightful and informed commentary. You are obviously an auto glass technician that cares about how he performs his work and a credit to our industry.
The people who made this vid are not very well informed, Butyl is recomended for many commercial OEM windsheilds today. Veheicles such as buses that have large windshields held in flimsy fiberglass front ends must have a glue to flex with the fiberglass or they brake the first trip out. People need to ask themselves if the car they buy needs glass to be structual to hold their roof in an accident then what have we come to?
@walterbeech With all due respect, you are the one that is not very well informed. I can't think of a single automobile OR vehicle with a fiberglass front end manfucatured in the last FEW years where butyl is the correct component used to adhear a windshield. The fact is that glass is a structural component of the modern automobile and today's autos protect occupants far more than their predessors, as illustrated in this video. youtube.com/watch?v=joMK1WZjP7g.

@CityAutoGlass We have two Late Model Eagle Buses in the yard right now and BOTH of them use it! These are both 45ft and one might be 3 years old at oldest, the Company was orginally from Brownsville Texas but now in Tenn. I got the phone number for them you can call and ask if you like but I do not want to put it on you tube. We have put dozens of winshields in these buses and they all say "use butyle only" If you use something rigid on them they will crack driving around the block!
@walterbeech Ok, that's one. Though I still find it hard to believe that their engineering is so primitive that they are still using butyl. I would think that at the very least they would be using a rubber gasket to mount the windshields. However, vehicles with a GVW over 10,000 lbs aren't susceptible to the AGRSS standard so urethane is not required because they do not have to meet the same standard.
Very well done , although the windshield that was being pushed out with the guys feet was actually a factory install with butyl tape. Ford used it on the Mustangs well into the 80,s .
