Never use urethane on rubbers or you will never get it off. If you ever want to remove or replace the screen you will have to cut it out, ie destroy the rubber

George, don't confuse new and old installations, the new cars use urethane, the older (rubber) type use sealer.
Places like repco etc stock it (I think), the product to use is called "windscreen sealer", cleans up as mentioned with kero, petrol, prepso etc (makes a big mess if your not careful, but is also great to seal tail lights etc

the way to tell the silicones is to smell them, if they have a strong smell they are no good, they are acidic and actually attract water

Yeah sorry, my comment was for general use which I probably should have stated seeing as this is a topic about 'windscreen rubbers'.

ive never liked that black mastic stuff.
 on a really hot day ive seen it melt and windscreens go lopsided.(admittedly not on a bedford) (but a wolseley 24/80)
n the stuff seems to ozze out in spots on a high 30,s low 40,s summers day. forever cleaning the crap off paintwork. and chammies, and hands, etc  .
give me a small bead of black sikaflex any day.
lets face it when the windscreens in why would u wanna take it out?
 unless its broken or the vehicle needs a rust repair.
thats just my opinion anyway, not sayin its the right way.
ive got a few brand new windscreens and windscreen rubbers put away in case i ever need them in the future as well.

I would maybe carry a tube in the emergency kit. But i guess the best defence against leaks has to be a properly fitted windscreen and regular maintenance.
