Many post have been made regarding sealants to use on C1 windshields. I just took the windshield apart on my 62, and I am very confident it hadn't been apart since 1962. There appeared to be a small amount of non hardening sealer between the gasket and the lower channel. It was heaviest at the ends where it was probably used to help hold the nut plates in place during assembly. There was no sealant between the gasket and the top channel. THERE WAS NO SEALANT PERIOD BETWEEN THE GASKET AND THE GLASS, TOP OR BOTTOM. There was no sealant between the side posts and the gasket.
For you guys that are interested in dates and numbers, both side posts were inkstamped "JAN 25 1962". The car was built on Jan 31, 1962. The Jan 25 date may be the date the windshield assy was put together rather than the date the posts were manufactured.
