What stuff should I use to seal the windshield gasket around the windshield? Buddy of mine suggested butyl caulk. Any suggestions or is butyl caulk the way to go? Thanks

Also to specify, not sealing the windshield itself but the gasket/trim that goes around it

The only cure that I have found is having the windshield taken out and resealed. And from what I have read Ford dealer is the best place. DIY fixes don't work.

Yeah it's not the windshield... It's the weather stripping that goes around it....

The windshield gasket/trim/weather stripping/whatever you call it. My windshield does not leak but that piece isn't stuck down like it should be. It's the black piece that runs vertically where the windshield meets the cab

My driver side is sealed down, my passenger side is not. This is the last thing I can think of that's giving me wind noise when I'm driving

Talk to a local glass shop.

Yeah just figured someone on here has done it before or has opinions on what to do... It's a forum to ask questions. You could reply to every post with "call a mechanic"; but thanks lol

Yea, it's the windshield, get it resealed. Ford Butyl was the old way, now they use window weld to reseal...last I heard anyway.

BTW you really need the re-seal, - they get worse and will eventually leak all across the bottom as well. Man, those leaks can cause some major $$$ fixing the harm they do.

So how is the weather stripping a windshield problem? I could pull it off and the windshield is still sealed to my truck... I'm confused
On a side note, are you saying if I pulled it off and ran a hose down the windshield, that little piece gone would cause my windshield to leak???

Those pieces don't have anything to do with the leaks.
