Replacing windshield

Well, my glass was delaminating on the edges and looking like burnt plastic inside so I decided to change it. I already had the dash and column out and the interior is gutted. What I did was pull the lockstrip out, cut around the gasket edge (not the gasket itself, just where the seam is). Then I put a thick blanket on the hood to catch the glass. I laid on the floor and pushed it out with the feet working my way across the top. Once it popped loose at the top, I went back outside and flipped it onto the blanket. The original seal came right off the pinch weld, nothing torn or broken. I hope this helps someone as I had never done one before.
It would have been much easier with 2 people, but it can be done alone if you have too.

I have since got a new seal and lockstrip from Precision and will be my glass buddy will be helping me install the new glass with a rope as he has done them before. A new skill is about to be learned! :)

I have the pinch weld completed cleaned up and found only two rust holes the side of a pea which I will repair. Pretty shocked that a car that sat outside for it's lifetime is in this good of shape! It rains just a bit in Florida you know...

I do have some questions for the guys that have done this before:

Headliner back in BEFORE windshield?
Dash back in BEFORE windshield?
What do you use on the pinchweld? Anything to level it so the gasket seals better?
Gasket on glass then rope it in. What do you lube the gasket with?

This sucker leaked quite a bit and way more than those two little holes could have caused. I don't want the new one to pour water too. I only saw a tiny bit of butyl on the bottom of the factory seal along the top of the cowl.
