Have a friend help you lay the windshield out and store it.
Use a new STEELE Co. rubber gasket when you reinstall it. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 59 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 59 | delux54panel you said to use new gasket from STEEL Co. do you have their E-Mail address or how to order a catalog form them

I just had it done a few days ago and I'm glad I wasn't the one doing it. It took two guys two hours. The installer said that curved windshields with trim in the rubber were a nightmare to install. I'm using a gasket from LMC and it seems to be ok. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 1,552 | Removing the windshield, is best achieved, as referenced above.
The '64-'66 Chevy/GMC truck windshields, with the stainless steel trim, is a bit challenging, but not too tough, with the right approach. Put the stainless in the rubber, put the rubber on the windshield & put the assembly in the hole.
