Windshield in!
I straight up conquered this thing!
Not too bad of a job. Masking is a very good idea.
I put the lower molding on before shooting sealant between glass and windshield. If I were to do it again, I'd seal it first THEN install lower trim.

It is similar but stays goopy.

Crazy stuff. Messy. Sticky. Tastes terrible.

Not criticizing, but Carbon Tetrachloride, commonly referred to as Carbon Tet should only be used in well ventilated spaces, preferably outdoors. It was once widely used for a variety of purposes including as a cleaning solvent and particularly in the dry cleaning industry. The risks associated with it would place it at the top of my personal list of chemicals not to use.
"Carbon tetrachloride is one of the most potent hepatotoxins (toxic to the liver), so much so that it is widely used in scientific research to evaluate hepatoprotective agents. Exposure to high concentrations of carbon tetrachloride (including vapor) can affect the central nervous system, degenerate the liver and kidneys, and prolonged exposure may lead to coma or death. Chronic exposure to carbon tetrachloride can cause liver and kidney damage and could result in cancer. See safety data sheets."

Good luck and be safe... GUSTO
