[TR] TR4 Windshield Install

[Bob]

John,

When it came time for my 4 glass mount, I mounted the frame on a 2x4 and 
took it, the glass, gasket and the chrome piece down to my local auto 
glass shop. 2 hours later I had the unit completed and ready to remount 
to the body. I did the same thing with the 6 years later. Cost will 
depend on the hourly labor charge but worth it in my opinion.

My as well replace the lower gasket while the frame is off as well.
