Question 1

How to use when installing windshield? Older Vw with rubber seal. Thanks

Accepted Answer

Not sure on VW, but I used this on a classic Mustang between gasket and car windshield frame ONLY. I used urethane between glass and gasket,  NOT this (08509). This will NOT set up and should stay tacky for a long time. I used urethane to make a seal between the glass and gasket.

Question 2

I need to replace the vapor barrier on my car door, is this suitable for that purpose?  I am concerned about any odor associated with it.

Accepted Answer

3m 8509 is what's recommended to be used for this purpose on older vehicles (my 68 mustang), so i see no reason why it wouldn't be the ideal thing to use with any other year vehicles. the vapor barrier on mine is wax paper (if that matters)..

Question 3

What is the minimum temperature to process this kit?

Accepted Answer

I used it on a beautiful summer day, so I cannot help beyond telling you I used it to seal around the windshield on my 1966 Mustang.  I just went out into my 30-degree garage and I can still make fingernail marks in it.  I would assume if you started with a room-temperature tube (so it would come out of the tube easily), you could apply it in a location with a much lower temperature (like my garage).
