My son just left and the windshield is in. Turned out pretty decent. The rope didn't work very well. I used a 3/16, next time I will use the recommended 1/4. I used the suggested conduit lube for the final installation and it worked pretty well. I ended up using two pairs of pliers to pull in on the gasket (after the rope failed to get everything where I wanted it) while my son slapped the windshield inward. While the windshield was out I repainted the dash the original two tone blue. Here is a picture

PS. The duct tape to hold the stainless trim in place was a good idea
