69 camaro Windshield and back glass help.

Hey guys not sure where I should place these questions so I thought I would start here.
I'm replacing all the glass in my car. Started today and pulled the front and rear glass out, happy to say no rust hidden under the glass

My question is what are you guys using to prep the area before apply the bead of adhesive Urethane? I purchased some 538 primer which I was going to use.
I have already clean off the old adhesive.

Thanks
John

Put a wash etch primer down over the bare metal spots. Then rough up the area for the bead of urethane with a piece of red scotch brite and wipe clean with a dry rag before you apply the urethane. Clean the glass also don't use a glass cleaner with ammonia in it as it affects the adhesion. We use the sprayway aerosol stuff

Thank you Mikey. Can I use a lacquer thinner to clean the residue off from the old adhesive? Also, I would like to place a band of black around the inside of the glass, can I use the primer I have?

Thanks again.

It's a black primer you apply with a dobber type applicator right if so yes. I don't remember the numbers I just have my glass guy give me the stuff. You should be ok with the thinner just let it dry really good before priming

Thank you for the help.

Thanks today I installed the drivers side glass and the windshield. I made the black primer band a little wider like the new cars hides all the good stuff
