In 1972 our dealer handed internal repair orders for installing bumpers, upgraded radios and rear sliders in pickups. It was very common as every vehicle had rubber gaskets. I am sure there is a lot of advice like the dish soap & water. Had two woven ropes way long but on oak dowels and narrowed center for comfort and the ropes tag end ties off. Other than starting on the bottom using the windows weight to assist the install, I did sliders while open but sprayed WD40 which evaporates after a few hours, but works great. Installing hoses, hose removal using hose tool from SnapOn (Standard and extra long) and installing glass. A hand on the wooden pull, work the rope and spray the WD40 thru straw and never had an issue on hundreds. 3M make a “Auto Bedding and Glazing Compound” P/N 8509 today is $10-$15 for a caulking gun cartridge that is non-hardening, black, remains pliable for 32 years, seals a leak using a dealer service manual air pressure procedure and soapy water for location. A length of brake line brazed onto an air blower I made in the 70’s, but dries the area very well. Tiny cut in the plastic tip allows a tech while pulling out on the rubber with a wiper-arm tool gave you enough to push in place with a paint stick and wipes off with a little acetone. Even with the “Alkaloyd Enamel” use during this time did no harm. Nice effort, lots of extra work when doing this trim but worth it. The new trim won’t work with NOS rubber as it deeper.

quick tip: when you're working with the stainless trim and using a screw driver or needle nose pliers, wrap one layer of blue tape on the tips of the screw driver and the jaws of the pliers and it won't leave micro scratches in your molding.
I owned my 72 Cheyenne since Oct 71 and am still driving it every year. Living in the country and working in the oil patch I went through many windshields. The newer ones were leakers until I found a NOS with thicker glass. I am running the factory gasket now in 2024.
In my 68, I switched cabs because of rust about 20 years ago. The windshield Was good so we successfully put the windshield in the new cab, which was the original from the factory it is still in my truck today in good condition,, and the back glass too.
I would have kept the slide window design. On my uncle's 87 GMC Sierra 2500 we put one in. With the pull vents on the kick panels you get a great air flow.
Thanks for the video. I'm going to attempt to install both the driver side and passenger side windshields (split windshield) on my 1948 Flxible bus. I'll post again once I'm done.
I tried this with a Chinese gasket and it was a pain. I stopped and ordered the USA made gasket. We'll see how that goes. This video is a life saver. Thanks..
Seems to me, it be easier to start the rope pull for the lip seal at the bottom on the front window as you did the rear window gasket. Why did you start this front from the top
on my truck the rear slide window is in the option sheet of the truck it was factory and they had front disc as a option too but no buddy ever got it same with the 79 z28 rs t top with full spoiler kit nobody ever got that option too and i have one with the option and the pro glass guy that did my truck he put the rubber in then the glass and he did it way faster by the time u had the rubber on the glass he had it installed this gut was fast and i have worked on a lot of cars never seen some one do a window so fast and have it perfect
I just bought the standard rear window rubber seal, which is the one without the trim. Is that going to be more likely to fault than one with the trim? It seems to me, after watching this, the trim also holds the window in place better.
I bought the stuff to rebuild my vent windows from u guys on my 1968 c10 felt also ! About a month later, the little washer ? Where the vent glass pivots open or shut broke ! Any suggestions with out replacing the frames ! If I have to replace one I'm going to do both ! Those bugers cost $350.00 per side ! Thanks guys !
Matt McKee I have never been able to in my 15 years installing the body of the truck acts like a locking of the gasket to the molding. It would be extremely hard to open up grove enough with out bending molding lip before getting it into place
...haven't done the windshield, but I have replaced the rear window on my '70 with nothing but a flat screwdriver, worked fine. Re-used my old rubber(my old glass got broken out). Found a used glass, cut the rubber with a utility knife and out it came. WAY better to fix than this modern glue-in crap. Try getting out a used glue-in windshield or rear glass without breaking it....Never should have gotten away from the rubber seals...
Yup and if you have troubles…. take a break ,a beer break and then when you have enough in you you don’t care if you break the upper corner of the windshield then proceed .Lol These are a pita.
Would you say the same for a 1962 c10? They are a beast. Lots of lube and patience. Dish soap is better choice I think. Used the window cleaner.. mehh evap to quick.
You cannot start at the bottom 67-72 have rain channels at the top. The top must go in 1st. I tried to tell a mobile glass installer that but the idiot wanted to do it his way and cracked the glass. Bastard left his rope and never came back.
I have a 71 K5 I can get just about any part for my Blazer accept for the part I need most. The inner panel that runs above the windshield which also hold the rearview mirror, any plans in the near future on producing this panel? I see you make one for a pickup, that'll be a lot of modifying and at almost 200 dollars you got one shot to get it right lol This is my second comment on the same ?
Hi Bryan! We're always actively looking to expand our parts selection and applications for our customers, but at this time we don't have information if we might carry this part for the Blazers.
just don't try using 67-70 rubbers on a 71-72, we got two sets of rubbers that wont work or hold the 71-72 chrome …… todays we try with the right rubber
Hmm... here we are again - on the LMC “GM/Chevy channel”. It’s like going to a huge auto swap meet. You look and look for Ford stuff, but it just isn’t there. Or picking up a Classic Trucks magazine. Chevy and more Chevy. I guess I’m just going to have to sell my ‘68 F-250. Cracks me up. Did someone pass a law or something?!?
I bet all the dislikes on this video are auto glass guys like me.. so many wrong tips . Notice dante started the rope at the bottom. We call these 5 minute jobs.
OMG... that's such a horrible job 😱and the risk that something doesn't fit or is leaking in the end is extremely high😑 The version with the metal trim looks really cool, but seems nearly impossible to assemble...cause experience has shown that these parts to all miserable fits very badly... ... But when everything is finished, it always looks good, of course.😜
HEY I DON'T BELIEVE YOU FINISHED THIS BY YOUR SELF ...? YOU SHOULDN'T TELL ANYBODY THEY CAN DO THIS JOB ,IT'S A JOB FOR AN OLD EXPERIENCED GLASS INSTALLER ,, 9 OUT OF 10 WILL BREAK THE WINDSHIELD ,,YOU CAN BEAT THE BACK GLASS & IT WON'T BREAK .. ED
LMC CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A JOKE BOUGHT A TOP RADIATOR HOSE FOR MY SMALL BLOCK 350 AND THEY SENT THE WRONG SIZE HOSE THE FIRST TIME CALLED COMPLAINED THEN AGAIN THEY SENT OUT A NEW ONE SAME SIZE AS THE FIRST SIZE THEY SENT SO THEY SENT ME TWO RADIATOR HOSES THAT ARE THE WRONG SIZE TALK ABOUT EPIC FAIL FOR A COMPANY I WILL TAKE MY CLASSIC PARTS NEEDS ELSEWHERE PEOPLE IN KANSAS NEED HELMETS.
So glad I watched this. My windshield is cloudy and leaks. Now I know exactly how I'm gonna go about paying someone to do this instead of me.
Kevin Tetz gives the best advice I’ve ever heard in my life during this video: if you get frustrated, take a break.

Great editing! I didn't hear any cussing at all.
Haaa👍🏻
That's done at your house when the order is delayed for months..
quick tip: when you're working with the stainless trim and using a screw driver or needle nose pliers, wrap one layer of blue tape on the tips of the screw driver and the jaws of the pliers and it won't leave micro scratches in your molding.
Jack Pinnell Good tip Jack!! Saves an extra step!
Even Dante was smart enough to stay away from the windshield installation LOL
I do alot of stuff myself... But some things are best part to pros
I owned my 72 Cheyenne since Oct 71 and am still driving it every year. Living in the country and working in the oil patch I went through many windshields. The newer ones were leakers until I found a NOS with thicker glass. I am running the factory gasket now in 2024.
Thank you for sharing! Have you shared your story on LMCTruckLife.com?
I don't know how but you are welcome to share it., thanks.@@Lmctruck1
Need to start from the center bottom and close on the center top!! Push the winshield upward on both sides !!😎😎😎
This video just convinced me to not do this on my own. Thanks!
Wouldn’t you want to paint the car before replacing the window seals?
In my 68, I switched cabs because of rust about 20 years ago. The windshield Was good so we successfully put the windshield in the new cab, which was the original from the factory it is still in my truck today in good condition,, and the back glass too.
Yup, the NOS windshields work.
No need for acetone use dawn and warm water. Cheaper on solvents, easier on you... mold release is usually soap or oil based... i use dawn ultra...
Octane Art Canada but dawn will cut your wax
Good job that windshield looks amazing.
It's about time Kevin got his own show
he was on trucks! for a long time
Hey Ivo so ist es genau richtig, sehe ich genauso. Ich hoffe bei euch ist alles gut. Liebe Grüße Detlef und Dagmar Sandra
I would have kept the slide window design. On my uncle's 87 GMC Sierra 2500 we put one in. With the pull vents on the kick panels you get a great air flow.
Tigerfire75 True that! O would have reused the slider!
Thanks for the video. I'm going to attempt to install both the driver side and passenger side windshields (split windshield) on my 1948 Flxible bus. I'll post again once I'm done.
Great video Kevin, thank you.
Some things I gladly pay for.
I tried this with a Chinese gasket and it was a pain. I stopped and ordered the USA made gasket. We'll see how that goes. This video is a life saver. Thanks..
Roberto Leeva Hard lesson learned!
You need the NOS thicker windshield if you want to avoid a leaker. I had lots of leakers over 25 years until I got the NOS windshield.
Terrific very informative video. Thanks.
Fun times.. It took me 3 days to get the bugger in.. Mom had to come in and save the day. !! My rubber was too big!!
😳
Seems to me, it be easier to start the rope pull for the lip seal at the bottom on the front window as you did the rear window gasket. Why did you start this front from the top
The soapy water method that Dante used is definitely a good idea
As Dante had said, "You need all the help you can get"
I see a crack on the glass.Never mind it's my phone.
That hood cowl is so ugly it makes me want to punch puppies.
Nice install!😀
Thank you
on my truck the rear slide window is in the option sheet of the truck it was factory and they had front disc as a option too but no buddy ever got it same with the 79 z28 rs t top with full spoiler kit nobody ever got that option too and i have one with the option and the pro glass guy that did my truck he put the rubber in then the glass and he did it way faster by the time u had the rubber on the glass he had it installed this gut was fast and i have worked on a lot of cars never seen some one do a window so fast and have it perfect
Lmc Chevy lovers lol lots of Chevy vehicle videos there are other vehicle manufactures
When he said my buddy....I was hoping he was going to say Ryan......lol
I just bought the standard rear window rubber seal, which is the one without the trim. Is that going to be more likely to fault than one with the trim? It seems to me, after watching this, the trim also holds the window in place better.
kevin makes it look easy
It killed me watching him work it dry without window cleaner!
two thumbs up.....
TETZ BRO!!
I had 72 and a 67 wish I still had em gave em away
A paint can opener is the best windshield wiper removal tool there is.
Looks Great!!! Do you know if the trim will fit a windshield of a 69" G10 Van?
My favourite part at 24:00 - that cackle!
Is that how it’s done in the states? A lot different in Australia. Like everything though. You have the ones that can and the ones that shouldn’t.
I bought the stuff to rebuild my vent windows from u guys on my 1968 c10 felt also ! About a month later, the little washer ? Where the vent glass pivots open or shut broke ! Any suggestions with out replacing the frames ! If I have to replace one I'm going to do both ! Those bugers cost $350.00 per side ! Thanks guys !
I need to install a windshield in a g body.
Thanks for the info! Is it possible to install the Stainless after the gasket and window have already been installed?
Matt McKee I have never been able to in my 15 years installing the body of the truck acts like a locking of the gasket to the molding. It would be extremely hard to open up grove enough with out bending molding lip before getting it into place
kevin from eastwood.
I need the same video but in a 87
SAMEEEEEE
...haven't done the windshield, but I have replaced the rear window on my '70 with nothing but a flat screwdriver, worked fine. Re-used my old rubber(my old glass got broken out). Found a used glass, cut the rubber with a utility knife and out it came. WAY better to fix than this modern glue-in crap. Try getting out a used glue-in windshield or rear glass without breaking it....Never should have gotten away from the rubber seals...
dyer2cycle There was a reason they did away with that. Sell more glass that way!!
Yup and if you have troubles…. take a break ,a beer break and then when you have enough in you you don’t care if you break the upper corner of the windshield then proceed .Lol These are a pita.
When will you show how to do the same for a 73 thru 87 model?
Rustrolet
At least you didn't lie and say it was easy is it pretty much the same for ford also
start windshield from bottom not top . its easier
On this one it's easier if you start from the side
Run dirt track, you dont need windows. 😁
New auto Glass that makes not sense! Its still the same !
How is that possible with the rain gutters on these 67-72 trucks?
What brand of gaskets do you use for the 85 c10 standard gasket no trim
Makes ya really wonder how they did it so fast at the factory?!
Lots of practice 😵💫
Dang.....how in the world did the assembly plants manage to keep the assembly lines moving with this trim install being such a hassle ?
They were probably already in another location and was just ready and waiting when the trucks came down the line.
Practice . Practice
Another video on how NOT to install these gaskets ,Always start at the bottom . And use the 67-70 trim and gasket ,much easier .
john deere can you add a link for the video of you doing a better job?
Makes sense in theory. Don't have to fight the window falling down.
Would you say the same for a 1962 c10?
They are a beast.
Lots of lube and patience. Dish soap is better choice I think. Used the window cleaner.. mehh evap to quick.
You cannot start at the bottom 67-72 have rain channels at the top. The top must go in 1st. I tried to tell a mobile glass installer that but the idiot wanted to do it his way and cracked the glass. Bastard left his rope and never came back.
Why would you NOT use a spray silicone? Would that hurt the new rubber seal?
I have watched other videos that specifically recommend spray silicone.
Christian Blankenship Its not good for the rubber
Causes fish eye problems if you are going to paint. Otherwise use silicone spray.
Need more of 73-87 c10
more ford
The cab should have been painted before the glass install, don't you think?
It might be A rat rod.......Paint is A SIN in that case :)
some people just tape and spray, but i agree with Tewrobert49 about keeping the patina look with the ratrod culture.
rust rod maybe,just clear and go
lets see this video for 80-87 LMC
ua-cam.com/video/wtmeTSvwaTw/v-deo.html&lc=z23oj3ax0yumyhmkgacdp432dluyrold0ohqnfl5e1tw03c010c.1530239116170550&feature=em-comments
73-87 are all the same.
Needs a new hood
I still think I'd call my windshield guy and have him install it.
Bennet Fox Amen brother!! Lol!!
I called two windshield guys and they said NO WAY once they found out that my windshield has metal trims.
I have a 71 K5 I can get just about any part for my Blazer accept for the part I need most. The inner panel that runs above the windshield which also hold the rearview mirror, any plans in the near future on producing this panel? I see you make one for a pickup, that'll be a lot of modifying and at almost 200 dollars you got one shot to get it right lol This is my second comment on the same ?
Hi Bryan! We're always actively looking to expand our parts selection and applications for our customers, but at this time we don't have information if we might carry this part for the Blazers.
@@Lmctruck1 Thank you for getting back to me looks like I'll be fabricating something.
Do they have that chrome trim piece in black
Hello, we do not offer that piece in black.
Seems pretty redundant to add new glass to a truck that has been restored yet, or maybe it's just for educational purposes, either way great job guys!
I’m starting to think LMC stands for “Lots More Chevy”.
i love this comment
great comment love it #Chevydance (dont kknow why im dissing chevy)
As a glass installer, my team can do this in 10-20 minutes installed
Safelite will not replace your glass if they see even that small amount of rust.
just don't try using 67-70 rubbers on a 71-72, we got two sets of rubbers that wont work or hold the 71-72 chrome …… todays we try with the right rubber
I ordered the rubber for my Blazer I hope it works but I need to do fabricating first.
I also don't have the chrome trim either.
Hmm... here we are again - on the LMC “GM/Chevy channel”. It’s like going to a huge auto swap meet. You look and look for Ford stuff, but it just isn’t there. Or picking up a Classic Trucks magazine.

dropped Classic trucks, and Trucking Magazine years ago because of that . They should rename them Chevy Truck magazine
This seem like some very tedious work. I could not imagine what factory worked had to do to assemble these back in the day.
ZGERMAN Exactly the glass installers are the factory had nightmares I'm sure!!
At the factory I mean.
Let’s hear from the factory workers
I bet all the dislikes on this video are auto glass guys like me.. so many wrong tips . Notice dante started the rope at the bottom. We call these 5 minute jobs.
In most cases don’t put trim back on !!!!!
OMG... that's such a horrible job 😱and the risk that something doesn't fit or is leaking in the end is extremely high😑
