Someone recommended Steeles Rubber products. Theirs was very easy to install / slid into the " Tee " slot like a dream. Steeles recommended a 3M adhesive to use on the butt joint that worked great. The softer rubber also seals better against the body to minimize leaks and drafts. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 71 |

Place a string inside the rubber channel all the way around. Put windshield in place and start working the body into the groove, and use the string to help with the lip. Take your time. It helps to have another helper. Don't bang too hard on the glass. Use your open hand. Good luck. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 89 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 89 | | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 71 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 71 | Thanks cvett, thas great news.
