Well got most of it done, just a temp repair. One thing I will say is I am not an Octopus. I am looking for ideas on how to run the sealant in and around the windshield gasket.

I have tried positioning myself with the tube inserted under the gasket yet it binds and I can see the tip wants to bend and break off the tube. The brand new Precision Gasket wants to grab anything I try to utilize as a slide. I am leary of using any type of lube to help facilitate the process.

What I would like to achieve is a continuous bead that runs in there deep all the way across the upper part of the windshield and in around the bottom. I do have the other product from CL Lawrence which is a bit thinner and you have to use a special tool to pump it into the groove, Special Thanks to Grumpy!

Anyone have a good idea on how to one man this?
