I called an old window/glass guy I know to do my 56 Suburban windshield. He wants $75. If he breaks it, I get another for him, he does not pay for it. He has been doing 50's windshields for 40 years. AND HE SAID THIS: In the last five years he has been having trouble/some breakage due to Chineese/Mexico glass and rubber. He says, as we all know, buy the best Glass and the best rubber. In my case that's Pilkington and Steele. As Forest Gump would say: cheap is as cheap does. You put the rubber on, center the windshield, center it, center it, do the rope trick while someone pushes in/follows you around, may need a NON-METALLIC hooky duver to get the corners.I believe that KY Jelly is best because it will wash off with water and leave no soapy or greasy slime-ation. Please recycle the broken glass!!!!!
