Long story short. The windshield in our RV was replaced and repaired at least once before we bought it. I had both sides removed and replaced the gasket twice, both times it looked like the windshield was ready to pop out on one corner. The first time they sealed it and it leaked, the second time I asked them not to and it didn't. While replacing the gasket the second time, the repairman pushed a bit hard near the area that had previously cracked. Oops, it restarted the crack. He filled the crack as best he could and it held for two years. Now the crack is extending and it's time to go in with a new windshield.
Here's my question. Do I seal it or not? I've read before that it shouldn't be sealed because the windshield needs to be able to move and that made sense, thus my asking them not to seal it on the second go around. I have also heard that the gasket itself should be sealed against the vehicle body. Any auto body or windshield folks out there? What are your thoughts?
