Yesterday I had received a roll of butyl rubber glue that I had purchased from http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_i...products_id=792. I was searching around the internet for the best kind of headlight sealant and it seems that the majority prefer butyl rubber. I am currently converting my projectors for lhd use. After opening the package, I had noticed that the glue is very soft compared to the hard, cement like factory sealant found on the projectors. Is butyl rubber supposed to be like like that because even after I baked my headlight and put the glass back on, it still feels squishy even after letting the headlight sit for 24 hours.

Yes it is supposed to be soft and very sticky. Wear gloves when handling it or you will have a tough time getting it off your hands.
I have a coupe, one of the rear triangle windows fell out and I had to reseal it. Used a roll of black Butyl and it holds perfectly. |
