Re: 3M window weld..is this the right ----?
I did mine on friday night. I used the Home Depot stuff. It was really tough to get outta the tube, but it seems good. I have a week for it to harden, and it is going in an empty engine bay. So I am not worried about the speed at which it hardens.
I know stealth had the HD stuff in his car and it was better than stock. Never had any experience with the window weld mounts. I am sure both are comprable.

I am not saying that it will take a week. I was just saying that I am not worried about the dry time because I have a week.
I did mine late friday and they are firmed up pretty good already.
I would suggest getting another set of mounts to make it a little easier.

Yeah, the PL stuff pictured is what I used on my crx. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I had a y8 at 15psi on advan road race tires and cut a 1.94 60ft.
The car didn't have the annoying rattles and ---- that everyone said thiers did, so I'm not sure if this stuff is less hard than the 3M or what. It was sure better than stock, though.

Re: 3M window weld..is this the right ----?
yeah i would say 24 hours is good since that is what the tube says but you might want to let it set for a little longer just to be sure. my mounts are pretty stiff compared to how floppy they were when i took them off but i can still feel some soft spots.
another question, is there a trick to get the driver side tourque mount back on? i had to twist it to get it off and i don't think that will work this time.

Re: 3M window weld..is this the right ----?
okay just got back from my first test drive. those mounts are so stiff it's crazy. i can easily psin the wheels now instead of getting all that wheel hop. the only thing i don't like is now my car vibrates from all over the place. so i have to figure out how to tighten my front bumper and hood so they will stop making noise but the feel of the car is alot better

I would wait as long as you possibly can for them to dry.
Mine have been sitting in the mech closet with the heater for a few days and they still have a little more to go I think. It takes a while for it to cure because the outside hardens and then slows the inerds from hardening. The 24hrs stuff on the tube probably doesn't refer to ppl laying it down 3in solid.
