[Vwdiesel] Jetta water leaks

[James Hansen]

  There is a LOT of technique to installing glass with urethane adhesive.
  I've done it, with help from my journeyman bodyman buddy, and trust me,
there is a ton of practical common sense things that you won't think of
during installation, plus other things such as urethane glass adhesive
primer, bare metal prep, how to cut the nozzle on the caulking tube, etc
that the average fred not in the business would have no knowledge of.
  I was really surprised how much there was to it.  And I thought it was 
just cut it out, squeeze it on, plop on the new one.
