I have read that the windshield on an 850 is a structural part of the car. Just recently this was posted for early 850s.

My daughter is having the windshield replaced on her '95 854 base (no sunroof). The technician claims that that year and model DO NOT need hot sealant for a better hold.

Anyone out in brickland know what the story is?

Thanks for your attention.

    I don't know what they used when they installed my new windshield earlier this month, but there is still a lingering chemical smell when I get in the car after it has been parked for the night/work.

    I seem to recall that it is only the rear window that is glued in, not the front. I've had the front replaced on my '97, and it wasn't glued in.
