Yeah a special tool is needed that Bruce mentioned to remove them .... easier.

I made bumper bolts years ago for a 68 Charger. Made them out of stainless steal carriage bolts. It was a lot of work .... sanding .. polishing ..but they sure did shine and last forever.

What year Dart? This might help in the search.

We never used rivets and what this guy is saying doesn't make since to me. Anyways look at the trim where the clips lock. Make sure trim is bent the same all the way the around in that location. Hard to explain but where the trim was locked before the lip on the trim will be bellied out some. We...

That is correct no notching where clips go. When I worked at a auto glass place the owner had to set the trim down and walk away sometimes...lol I would pick it up and work at it until I got frustrated. The customers are of course wanting their trim to fit properly so it takes work to get it...

You have to fit the trim sometimes to car like you mentioned. Removing the trim can warp it, and it depends on what the buffer guy did as well. Never goes back on perfect most of the time. I have installed my trim in which I have a 67 cuda and converted it to 68 stainless trim... long story...

No... it should have a gasket like the windshield. Take the moldings off .... CAREFULLY. Don't bend them. There is a tool for it just to let you know to loosen up the clips. GearWrench 2038 Window Molding Remover - Mutual Screw & Supply

I posted some information above... might help. Use the sealant I posted in place of bed and glaze... seals better with less mess.

Read this thread. Windshield and rear window seal The sealant you will find that I posted is the best stuff in world. I used it on my cuda and it works great! I don't know what they are talking about a "filler strip" but your gasket should have a self locking strip. You unzip it BEFORE you...

I've got to go to work but will help out when I get home tonight.

I did some body work inside the engine bay of my cuda.... now I understand why painters charge so much. They can have it!

It's a powder. Picture of the lye is on page one. To be honest I can't remember the percent of mix... it's been awhile. I used a plasitc container, mixed it up, and dipped the parts. You'll see if you have enough lye if the anodizing isn't dissolving. Enough water to just cover the parts. It...

Looks OK to me! Great job! Mine still look as good as the day I put them back on the car. lol Yep... lot of patients

You'll probably going to have to more pictures and explain in more detail as you go. It's hard to figure out exactly what your talking about. What is the reason your trying to pop the hardware out of the new ones instead of using the new ones?

Goes to bottom of the windshield the smaller ones go around the perimeter. Make sure the clips will grab the stainless good before you mount them. If not bend the notch a tad on the trim so the clip will grab. After the clips are mounted to the car place a piece of tape near the clips so it will...

You can find most leaks by running a hose on half stream. Make sure the trunk is dry. Start from the lowest point first then work yourself up. Going round various places where you think it might be coming inside the trunk. If you think it's the glass ... take some baby powder and sprinkle it...

Yeah I saw that about five years ago. Pretty interesting. Haven't seen any places that seem to offer it wide spread. Seems to me would have caught on by now. Must be expensive equipment or something of that nature.

Can't say for sure.... I have never used a butyl sealant but have used butyl tape. We always used bed and glaze around the pitch weld and gasket ....and urethane between the glass and gasket. The Dekaseal comes out of the cartridge like regular chalk/urethane but stays rubbery. I can place my...

Dekalin Dekaseal 8936 You'll like working with this sealant opposed to bed and glaze.

I sure can.... give me little time and I will go out to the shop. I went to the auto glass place I used to work and was going to get some bed and glaze to fix the leak I had. My ex boss said we don't use that anymore we use this...lol I'll get it for you. The reason I had a leak is I never...

If you don't want any headaches go with Precision or Steele. Besides fitment you want the gasket to have a soft rubbery feel to it in order to make it easier to install. If the gasket is hard it will make the installation hard. When you are speaking of "spline" .... if it was a lock strip that...

I've been dealing with auto glass for around eight years now. Worked for Safelite for a year and decided all that running around, long hours, and other reasons I decided to get out of it. Before that I worked at a auto glass place that is more a mom pop operation. We did regular auto glass, RVs...

I have a 67 Barracuda in which when I bought the car there was no light or trunk switch. It must have gotten tossed somewhere down the line. Sorry...... I just say cuda instead of spelling out "Barracuda". I just assume members would know that my cuda is an A-body instead of a E-body since this...

My cuda didn't have a trunk light at all. Bought a electric trunk latch for a Chrysler New Yorker. It has the light switch made into the latch. Installed some lights in the trunk... works great. So when the trunk is open the light is on. Also allows the ability to pop the trunk from the drivers...

Nope...to much going on If you decide to go with it matte black all the way

Semi black

It is chrome plastic lock strip for GMC or Chevy trucks. Comes in a roll. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Lock-Strip-1973-1990-Chevy-GMC-Truck-Windshield-/170865824787 You can find the corners .... they are available instead of 45ing the ends of the lockstrip. I have since converted my 67...

Yeah 1,2,3,4,5,6

What notch are you speaking about? The gaskets aren't self sealed. Need to run bed and glaze on the gasket where gasket meets the pinch weld. Spray the pinch weld and the gasket with glass cleaner that's in the can not the bottle type. Set the windshield center the windshield two guys on the...
