3 sets of hands, will make the job much easier, than trying to do it with two sets. Misting the rubber grommet & windshield with a 50/50 mix of dishwashing liquid & water will help, as well. The pull-cord method works great if the rubber grommet is good quality & the rope is woven nylon or polyester. I have found the 1/4" tight-weave rope is the best.

I just replaced my windshield rubber in my 58. I also got mine from LMC. I took the back window out and cleaned and primed everything but when I started to go back with the glass it just did not want to go in. I finally called a guy who has done glass work for me on oyher cars.When he installed that glass with the seal he had to hit that glass so hard I thought it would break. He did a nice job for $100.00 and it has not leaked at all. Good luck with your install I hope it all goes in real easy.

i had a new windshield put in my 66 by one of the many windshield replacement outfits in waco
they drove out to my shop and put it in in less than an hour.
i was amazed at the pounding that guy gave the glass but he put it in no sweat.
if i'd have done it i'd have broke it.
