What is the goo and mastic that I found when removing the windsheild?
Hello,
When removing the front and rear windsheild of my 1980 Targa, I noticed at least 3 types of "goo"...
My best guess is that all these have been there for 40 years. I have owned the car for 21 years to date and I know that these predate me!
The targa rear windshield had some grayish goo underneath the window seal... something that was reminiscent for me of the goo that was used in the past to attach window panes to window frames. Or maybe plumber putty in the US...
Both front and rear windshield had some "black" goo that looked like some of the plastic from the window seals had cooked and became gooy... no clue what that was.
It looked like the windows seals where glued in place using neoprene glue or something like this. I did not think that such glue was needed...
And finally, I also removed the front wheel wells...
These are screwed to the main body, but once again, it looks like there is some goo (some other grayish one), between the "wing" and the main body (anti vibration?) what is that, where do I find it, and do I need to replace it?
Any advice on what these things are/where, and which ones I have to replace, or not will be SUPER welcome!
Thanks,
Cyrille
