You may have some pucker spots inside, but usually you can work those out. A couple of years ago I showed how I made a ball end tool from an old screwdriver. That tool will help a lot and common popsicle sticks are good, also. You can buy ball hook tools, but you don't need more than what I made. Dawn soap is good to use. The last one I did was a 1953 with the stainless molding. Took about 20 minutes. I only needed help to set it up and in place. As for sealant, I use 3M non-hardening for the rubber to cab and either 3M non-hardening or 3M urethane for the rubber to glass. No sealer is needed for the back or corner glass. When you do the sealer for the windshield, use masking tape to keep it off of the body...will make clean-up a lot easier and quicker. For clean-up I use mineral spirits. I also showed how to pull the rubber so the corners go in flat and smooth. If you don't do this, they'll pucker...no matter who's rubber product you use. If they pucker, they'll gather water at the bottom and this will make them fail rapidly. Good luck! There's a fellow here (think his ID is tinnerjohn) who knows a lot about this and may have some more ideas.
