| I have been doing this for years on Chevys and AMCs and I try to keep things simple. I remove the old windshield with lots of TLC and a removal tool from NAPA [cheap compared to a new windshield] After cutting all the way around I gently lift the top first and fold toward front cut any stubborn strips as you go.Then clean inside edge [contact area] with lacquer thinner then steel wool.clean channel the same way and treat any rust with a wire brush and coat with "Extend rust converter" I use 3/8" rubberseal sold by NAPA in paint supplies and place it carefully around channel in center of contact area with ends meeting on bottom center.install rubber blocks [in seal box] on bottom edge of channel and gently lower windshield in being careful to center it between front roof supports. Hopefully done on a sunny day last i put pressure evenly around the edges and watch the
seal compress and adhere to windshield. I use no other messy sealers and have never had a windshield or backglass to leak. I hate to make a messy repair and the liquid stuff I have seen ooze out from under the edges and look like s--t on a hot sunny day ! Again everybody has their own way of doing things but this has worked for me for over 30 years.Good luck Rick --- On Thu, 4/10/08, Eddie Stakes <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Eddie Stakes <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> |
