It differs from others I have installed in that the sides and top of the rubber seal (from Steele) is extra wide, presumably the headliner fits underneath this. Because this lip is so wide, it makes it very difficult to use the cord method where a small diameter cord is inserted in the pinchweld groove and then the cord is pulled, allowing the lip to roll over the pinchweld. I rolled this extra wide lip over the side and top pinchwelds but now I can't seem to get the bottom of the windshield close enough to the pinchweld to get the lip to roll over the pinchweld. The shop manual doesn't do a very good job of installation with this kind of seal. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 288 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 288 | Good luck with this. I lucked out and had a truck chip my windshield. Insurance covered the replacement and they glass company put in a new gasket I had. Only problem the gasket is real tight and splitting in the lower corners. I am going to get some filler. Best of luck and sorry I wasn't any help. Keep us posted though.
Later,
