How do you do it without scratching the paint?
Mine is the later style, held on with machine screws.
I've got the glass in the frame, and the tenons and stanchions attached. So
now there are the pieces that go against the body, and the stanchions that
will cover them. I can imagine somehow holding them all together and
sliding the assembly downward, but I'm sure I'd scratch the paint. I tried
sticking them on the body using a bit of plumber's putty and sliding the
windshield assembly backward, but it hit the wiper shafts.
What's the trick?
Jim

I laid a pad downstairs first to position the frame, but you need to have a h=
elper to set it on place.
