The Windshield...A Structural Member of Today’s Automobile
In the early 1980’s auto makers responded to skyrocketing fuel prices by reducing vehicle weights and
increasing vehicle aerodynamics. Flush-mounted glass and the windshield becoming a structural part of the
vehicle were results of this effort

This is from 3M , so yes it did just "float" ....

Hi all, read through this and I am still not clear on the path on how I should reinstall my front and rear glass for my 72 charger. Based on what I read and my understanding of cars I agree with the following:
My car is a unibody and will have some flex in the body. I would probably want the glass to float in that scenario so to avoid any cracking of the glass.
Using butyl rope (attached pic) vs adhesive (professional stuff used today) will allow me to install the glass as I can control the rope better than trying to lay the adhesive down with a caulking gun. Something that most likely should be done by someone who does it regularly.
question is, if I dry fit the glass (front and back) and it meets the channel all the way around. Will Using the rope will should allow me to do it myself, have a complete seal all the way around, save some money, and meet the installation stands of 1972?
