Just watched the video.... great info! Just to clarify, though: you did NOT remove the window fully from the top, correct? You just scraped out the old crud and got the adhesive into the edges of the failure as best you could while running a proper bead (after primer) to the areas where the glass was fully separated? Is that correct?
