I'm trying to instal the windshield in a 1948 3600. I have put the glass in the rubber seal.

I tried to put all this into the cab using a small rope to pull the rubber over the pinch weld but, the center won't go down all the way or "seat" in place.

Any tips for this would be great. The seal is from Steele Rubber and glass is from a place like Jim Carter if that helps.

Some gentle nudging with the heel of you hand helps.

On the last one I done, the glass seemed to be oversized? I really had to "slide" the glass away from the center bar. Take a "glass stick" and some soapy water and wet up the glass and rubber seal, work around the glass until you gain more space along the center bar. Sometimes its just a matter of working the seal lip into the opening until it seats, don't slap it to hard, just work with it. The soapy water can be used on the glass, seal, and cab opening. Hope this helps,
Phil
