Re: C3 Windshield frame rust protection

I've never heard of that stuff in the U.S. ...sounds very tricky to work with, but probably does a good job. Here I've only heard of paints (Rustoleum,POR-15, etc), and Ziebart-style coatings (3M & other companies) that start as a brown syrupy liquid and firm up to a gummy consistency after spraying.

Re: C3 Windshield frame rust protection

Fisher Body used a very similar material in the late 60's-early 70's after installing the windshield and backlite before installing the reveal moldings; it was applied with a flow gun to fill the "valley" between the edge of the glass and the radius of the rabbet that formed the depression for the glass opening. Its use was discontinued due to complaints of "ooze-out" of the gooey, sticky substance from the moldings in hot weather.
