Windshield install advice.

I'm with ya, thank you brother man.
I just really dont wanna have abort halfway through and start over.lol
I've seen the lock strip type and yeah you put the gasket around the window and all that and then you snap the last trip in and then you go and start it at the bottom and pull the string around up to the top I saw that video of the Ford pickup truck and they did it that way, like you're saying.
All of the above is great info. The one thing I'd like to add is never ever use a screw driver to try make the glass fit into the gasket. It will break 99.9 percent of the time. The wooden paint sticks like OMM said is great, or the right tool is made of plastic and sold on Amazon.
