Windshield Install/Remove/Clips/Details

Jerry:

Appreciate the feedback. The flap I cut along the bottom was very very stiff along both ends to about 6 -8 inches in, then softened up. There was no place for that thing to bend anywhere. At first I cut just the stiff ends off and tried to bend the rest against the stainless trim, but no go. If it did go somewhere, I certainally missed it. The trim lays flat and tight against the rubber and the body, looks good, and no leaks. What else can I say!

By the way, putting the dash back together, I managed to break the glove box latch catch. It looks like a single solid wire U shaped. A fellow is sending me one from a 73 Duster that is flatter and wider around the edges. Looks like it should fit, do you know if it will or not?

Thanks

Oops! You should not have had to cut that piece off. It is a flap that is supposed to fold and tuck up under the opposite edge of the groove. The groove in the gasket along the bottom of the window looks like it should have a locking strip, right? Not so, the flap tucks under along the bottom edge, and the locking strip begins where the flap stops. There is not enough room in the groove for both locking strip and flap.
