Install the seal on the glass, wrap the inner part of the seal with the rope and spray the seal with silicone. Set in place with the rope to the inside of the cab and have the extra hands applying pressure from the outside. Start pulling the rope so the seal flips over the flange of the cab while a helper follows you from the outside. It should go quick on a 65, the 63 and older trucks windshields wrapped around the A pillar and made it a bit more difficult to install.
Good luck,

It's the work of the Devil!  I agree silicone sprays have their uses but not in this instance! I fit glass for a living and never use anything other than plain old glass cleaner. It wont 'hurt' the paint finish or the rubber! 4ontheFloor's right, silicone will contaminate your paint and may cause problems for any future paint remedial work! Good Luck Jock

Included windshield with molding(needed many hands!), rear door one piece gaskets, rear quarter windows with one piece gaskets, and removal and reinstallation of my second(slider) windows that already had rubber on them, but I'd forgotten to put the cushion pads under the frames. They used window cleaner. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 435 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 435 | I've got a guy that does this glass stuff for a living and he's been here at the house on several occasions installing my glass. Never anything more than a good quality glass cleaner and his rope with a window stick. Just last week, watched him put a new glass in an 80' LUV, start to finish...12 minutes. My bill...$100. Best money ever spent for the prevention of rectal irritation in my opinion. | | |
