Hey,

I'm looking for the best way to install a new windshield.  Should I install
the gasket on the frame first and then install the glass?  Or put the
gasket on the glass first and then install the whole thing onto the frame?

It took me a while to figure out which way the gasket goes because of all
of the various slots but I think I have it correct now.  I've installed it
on the frame but it doesn't want to stay in place in the corners.  Should I
use some sort of weatherstrip sealer to hold everything in place before
trying to put the glass in?

Thanks,
Joe Brown

Just been there, done that.  I put the gasket on the glass and then
installed that into the frame.  Did it twice... The second time worked
better, starting at one side and working across.  After the first side is
in, and you've worked the top and bottom along maybe 6 - 8 inches, push the
glass in toward the started end as far as possible, then proceed.  Use
plenty of soap for lube.

If the frame is off the car, consider reinstalling the trim before putting
it back on.  With the frame installed, I'm now struggling with the bottom
SS strip, and it would be so much easier to get it in if the frame to car
gasket was free.
