All good information here. I'd like to add a couple more things. That plastic tool mentioned above is the best tool for installing the windshield into the gasket. Do not use a screw driver, you will crack it for sure. When installing the locking strip Rusty's tool that he mentioned is a good option. You can use a screw driver for that but it's probably going to leave marks in the strip. The plastic tool can be used for this purpose without leaving marks. It just takes longer. When installing the strip keep pushing it back in the gasket channel as it has a tendency to stretch and it will shrink back and leave a gap in the channel. Don't cut it too short. Also make sure you don't have any rust in the frame that will cause the gasket to heave up later. I've put over 1200 windshields in locomotives and the process is basically the same for automobiles. Really the only difference is the locomotive windshields were 9/16" thick. Oh yeah, use lots of soapy water, lol. Steve
