Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 219 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 219 | Ok....My new windshield seal just arrived from American Classic Trucks, has anyone had any problems installing the new seal? I'm pulling the windshield tomorrow to patch the holes at the top of the "A" pillars. Has anyone used this seal from ACT? The manufacturer is Precision. Can I expect a difficult time? Or, can I expect things to go relatively smoothly? I'm thinking about calling the glass company to come and reinstall the glass. Any thoughts on this??
Thanks,

Go slow and use plenty on silicone spray,

The glass was relatively small, and it was no problem using a soapy rope. But, the glass on my '66 is considerably larger than a VW windshield. I'm kinda leaning toward calling the glass company. I won't have too many sets of "extra hands" when it's time to reinstall the glass. So, I guess there will be no problems with quality, or fit with the seal?? I does look nice!! I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for the response!!
