<VV> Windshield install on late model coupe

[Ulli Dittmar]

as far as I know you have to primer it with a special fluid - that will help the ribbon (two component material) to stick better and keeps corrosion of the body/frame.
They do it like this on modern cars - I had just a windshield change on my VW Touran.
