Need Help with Front & Rear Windshield Installation - Duster

The way I've always done it is to put the gasket on the windshield and then install it in the opening. I run a small diameter nylon rope in the inner lip of the gasket with the ends overlapped at the bottom. Lube everything up real good with some liquid soap and set the lower edge as far into the opening as you can but don't try to force anything. Make sure the rope ends are inside the car. Start pulling the rope so that it peels the rubber over the lip in the windshield opening working from the middle out to the ends and then up the windshield pillars and around to the top middle. Do just a little at a time and try to keep it even from side to side. A slight tap with the palm of your hand will help seat the glass down and in. (take your rings and bracelets off when you do that!). Take your time! You don't want to put the glass in a bind as it will crack REAL easy! If you've never done one, you'll probably break your first one. If you insist on doing it yourself, I'd practice on one in a do-it-yourself yard first or at least watch someone at a glass shop install one. Try pulling an old pickup flat back glass out and reinstalling it. Those are fairly easy to do. Once you've got those under your belt, try a wrap around one. If you get them done without incident, you may be ready to tackle a windshield.
