<p>Hi Mike,</p>
<p>We did it without instructions for our BN2; of course, my dad
being a former auto shop teacher didn't hurt ;) The 100s and I
think the early six-cyl cars used glazing rubber to hold the
windshield in, whereas the later cars used a U-channel rubber
seal. IIRC, it's just a matter of:</p>
<ol>
<li>laying the rubber over the bottom of the glass, then pushing
the bottom frame onto the glass<br>
</li>
<li>same for either side</li>
<li>same for the top</li>
<li>tighten the screws at the corner brackets<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>I don't recall if we cut the glazing rubber in 4 pieces, or left
it as one. Either way, you have to notch the corners at 45deg to
get it to fit (obviously, don't leave any gaps). The rubber
should be wider than necessary; once the windshield is inserted
into the frame trim the rubber with a sharp razor blade along the
frame edges at an angle (i.e. don't 'square it off' to the
glass). Be careful not to scribe the glass lest bad things might
happen.<br>
</p>
<p>Moss shows the glazing rubber at about $23, if you attempt it and
screw it up you can try again without a great loss. It's doable
by one, but easier as a two-man job. I doubt many of the
contemporary installers--e.g. Safelite--know how to do this; you'd
need to go to an oldtimer.</p>

had the windshield pieces re-chromed and need to put the assembly

try and find an auto glass installer that would handle this?
