Installed rear glass yesterday with help from my Brother and Brother-In -Law. Put tire lube inside the rubber channel and a water Dawn combo in a spray bottle on the metal of the car glass frame. I don't think they even had to press down on the glass. I started the #14 stranded wire on the bottom and it did not take very much effort to pull the wire out and get a great seal. This has been a worry for me on how to get some one to install the glass, so Thank You for showing everyone how easy it is to do.
You whole channel is very much appreciated. I watch all your videos. This video is gonna be a huge help when I go to put the glass on my 63. (sometime this week)
I've heard of this method for glass install but you showed it being done and now I know what to expect when I'm doing mine.... Should be done with it in the next hour....wish me luck.
@lonestar lows thank you for the videos. I’m putting my 64 back together and you are the go to for what I can’t figure out or never done.. like the glass install. Awesome job
gonna do my '61 bubble top wind shield in this weekend i see one in the back ground i got a few videos of mine nice work did you do the head liner first i did
This is a great video that actually shows you installing the rear glass! Do you have a video showing you removing the trim molding on the rear glass, as well as the best tool you have found that works best? I have not found a video showing anyone removing the trim around the rear window. Thanks!
Thanks for a great video, I was trying to figure what glue to use but after watching this video don't think I need it for my 63 Polara. Come to think about it I don't remember seeing any glue residue on the window frame after removing the glass. Thanks again
Awesome tutorial, I'm getting ready to install my glass on my 64 and I was going to pay a glass company to do it for me but after watching this I'm going to do it myself. Is there any chance you can do a tutorial on how to install the door handle and trunk mechanism with all the rods. My painter removed mine and I'm struggling to figure out how to install them again. Thank you once again for a great video.
Good. Dont pay anyone. Its really easy. As far as trunk...the latch should just screw into the deck lid....door handle ive never removed the door handle mechanisms before.
I love the videos keep them coming I have a quick question do you have or can you make a video on how to remove the stainless around the windows, the tools in the tricks?
Thank you for such an awesome video!! I was thinking I needed to call a glass man but damn, you made it look easy. One question though Sir: how much of an overlap is there with the two ends of the string inside the rubber seal? I hope I'm making sense??? One hell of a build BTW.
Good deal. I overlapped like 18 inches or so just incase the string slips. Which if it does its not end of world. The glass can be pushed out and the rubber reset and start over
Man that was a good video and it looks simple too do!!! Thanks for the video keep them coming!!! I did have a question as far as that dash filler where can you get them and what would it be called??? Also on his firewall did he buy an insert if not what screws holes did he keep??? I just got mine on a rotisserie this week building the frame soon
lonestar lows ill have to double check cause i cant recall. Meant on the screw holes on the firewall did he just keep the booster holes windshield one and the ones to mount fender??? Did he get a pre fabricated one like you did from last minute???
Did this on a 64 VW. However the first time I broke the windshield! What I found out is that you have to buy good Rubber Seals. My first try they were kinda hard? Old? Then I just went to a forum and ask what was the best....Soooo..What brand are you using?? Have a leaky front window on my 65 El Camino. Basically the same as this Impala? Was going to use the Butyl Squishy seal. But I did have good luck with the Rubber. I would think it would also be a lot more Uniform with the trim.
One recommendation would be to start the rope on the bottom. This job went well but many times starting at the top is a battle as the weight of the glass can work against you. The gasket appears to be new which is great. However If you are using a used gasket which does not bite the pinch weld securely I suggest beginning on the bottom. Nice work!
Firsts off I'd like to say your cars came out really nice. I'm in the process of restoring a 64 impala ss convertible. I was wondering is there clips that go along the top front windshield that would hold the big chrome molding.? thank you.
@Lonestar lows it would be awesome if you could do a detailed install video on the rear quarter glass. I think my painter took part of the channel out, I pc that bolts in. Can't find any information on how it's oriented in the body of the car, and I have every manual available for the 63 impala
Great video bro! I’m about to put the front glass on a 64 convertible. I don’t remember any clips under the windshield when they took it out, are those only for the hardtop models? If I’m not mistaken the lower trim pieces have clips that just screw in right? Thanks!
Yes the lower trim clips screw into the cowl, and slide back and forth in the trim itself. On conv I'm not 100% sure. But I think the header molding up top bolts in place and the side moldings screw in the door jam. The clips are used to hold trim in place, not hold glass in place. So you are probably right
Nice work man!! Love the car. How would you recommend removing the stainless? I’m researching as much as possible to know what’s all clips vs screwed on? But would you just pull off the pieces that have clips by hand? Or what methods did you use? Thanks in advance. Cars looks perfect man 🙌🏼
What’s up @lonestar lows, I have a 1962 convertible & I’m trying to remove all the front windshield trim. Would you happen to know how to remove it? You make some great content, thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
lonestar lows I figured it out, last person who “restored it” added silicone so it wasn’t coming up but figured it out & luckily didn’t damage trim. Thanks for getting back to me.
Going to do a little research after this comment (did some beforehand but no luck) but would this be possible for a older model vehicle that doesn't originally come with a gasket? My 76 El Camino just has the windshield "glued" (for lack of better term) to the frame and has trim around the windshield (2 pieces of trim missing, but the part that leaks is under the trim of course 😂)
I have a 1964 Impala in Iowa and the gasket is shot. Hoping this will help me. I'm very new to working on cars but I can't find anyone willing to take on the job out here so I guess its DIY. Any recommendations for a shop to purchase the gasket? Do you like one brand more than others? Thanks!!
I need to install a rear window on my '66 Barracuda. My brother has the window. I already pulled out all the glass chunks, as the window had been smashed before I bought the car. I also went inside the molding with a wire brush. There's still a slight bit of gummy residue inside the molding, but it's mostly clean. Do I need to clean it out 100% with a solvent, or is it good to go onto the window as it is?
Another well described, informative video from Lone star. You guys work good together. Your buddy must be happy as hell !!! Quality job.....done in timely fashion. Keep up the good work!
@@JamesSmith-oe1ot thanks james. Im takimg it to him tomorrow..going to miss it but the 61 has room now. Going to document hours and beers on the build...

blown away... getting ready to put front & rear glass in my 74 Challenger... very informative
The knowledge we get from these individuals it’s priceless....
As always, I'm always impressed with your skills.Great video!
Thanks for watching
Perfect vid. Exactly what was needed to show how it really aint that hard. And putting that sealer aint really necessary either.

How did it go
I fitted my rear window on my Plymouth today Thanks to your instructions video and yes it took me 10 minutes flat 😊😊😊😊
Awesome 👌

Glad to help. Nothing to it but to do it
Very very help full and very precise instructions .thank you so much you just saved me a tone of money on my 63 budget build project thanks alot guys.
Excellent . Thanks for watching
Thanks for the tutorial! I will definitely use the string method. That brown gummy crap was a pain when I removed the glass..
Yep...it makes a mess
Very good example of skill and experience sir. I have a 67 Dodge Coronet I'm going to do this with.
Great video! I have a '62 Pontiac Grand Prix and I need to pull and replace the front and rear glass.
Thanks. I have a 66 SS Chevy II with the same set up. Now I'm pretty sure I can do it myself. I need front and back installed.
Thanks LS got both front an back glass in the string method works perfect 👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯
Awesome
Thank You for a refresher .. Installing I've used 50/50 dish soap and water to help ease in the Gasket..
gonna do my '61 bubble top wind shield in this weekend i see one in the back ground i got a few videos of mine nice work did you do the head liner first i did
Gotta love 6x9 holes hacked into the rear deck...I'm working on a 63 with the same thing

Im sure there's a tool but a small screw driver should work. I always buy cars in pieces so the disassemble is usually done already lol
Bad ass bro yes ur right there no videos on impalas 61_64 how to any of this u show us good job bro keep these how 2s coming
Glad they helped!
Thanks for a great video, I was trying to figure what glue to use but after watching this video don't think I need it for my 63 Polara. Come to think about it I don't remember seeing any glue residue on the window frame after removing the glass. Thanks again
👍👍
Hell yeah thank you very much for showing me how to drop my windshield in appreciate it 👍💯
Tight
@@lonestarlows is that thin metal piece hard to push in behind the bottom of the front windshield
Its. Not that hard. But if its all painted you really get 1 chance to get it right without scratching everything up
First time I'll be doing this soon, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching 👀
Thanks I just put the back window in my 62 from your video.

Hi. Not sure. I've never install that molding on a 64, but I would assume so. It is stainless, not chrome btw.👍
Damn bro do you do auto restoration as a hobby or a job? Bc you show professional results every time 👍🏽impressive 😎
Hobby. I have a job i work 40 hours.
do they sell this weather stripping for a 70 chevelle rear window
Good work car is looking great to.
Thanks bud
I wish you would do a video of installing all the rear stainless with the clips👍🏼
We can when the trim is done. Im going to polish it myself
lonestar lows awesome! We are getting close on my 63
What brand seals did you use. ?

They make a tool to pop the stainless off. A screw driver or puddy knife works as well. Take time or dent trim

What’s up @lonestar lows, I have a 1962 convertible & I’m trying to remove all the front windshield trim. Would you happen to know how to remove it? You make some great content, thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
Ive never removed on 62 convertible but i believe the stainless on sides and top just unscrews?
lonestar lows I figured it out, last person who “restored it” added silicone so it wasn’t coming up but figured it out & luckily didn’t damage trim. Thanks for getting back to me.
Yr make and model makes a difference..
Thanks for the detail videos man. I have a 62 how do I pull windshield out?????
Push out from inside, push out on rubber lip first, if it’s in tight then cut rubber off and order new 1
New rubber 100$, new window over 400$ easy
Going to do a little research after this comment (did some beforehand but no luck) but would this be possible for a older model vehicle that doesn't originally come with a gasket?
My 76 El Camino just has the windshield "glued" (for lack of better term) to the frame and has trim around the windshield (2 pieces of trim missing, but the part that leaks is under the trim of course 😂)
I can't answer for sure because I've never I stalled Glass on a car newer than 64
What shade of red is your car
The body is designed to drip out the water. Unfortunately it ends up in lower quarters but for the most part it will roll out by design
I have a 1964 Impala in Iowa and the gasket is shot. Hoping this will help me. I'm very new to working on cars but I can't find anyone willing to take on the job out here so I guess its DIY. Any recommendations for a shop to purchase the gasket? Do you like one brand more than others? Thanks!!
Steele rubber
So I hered that you should put the headliner in before the glass goes in is that the case?
Its easier to do headliner without glass.
I need to install a rear window on my '66 Barracuda. My brother has the window. I already pulled out all the glass chunks, as the window had been smashed before I bought the car.

U want the molding as clean as possibly so it snaps in place evenly. Wax and grease remover works real good

Anyone know how to adjust rear quarter window pivot on a 63 convertible
Where did you get the glass?
Is it the clear glass or the tinded glass?
Looks like an original glass from the emblem on the lower passenger corner.
The best rubber lube to use to is non-pumice GoJo hand soap.
Do you have a video of removing the rear glass?
No
What kind of string and thickness should I use
Not sure on exact but it's just string. It's probably 1/16 inch thick
Are you gonna put on the trim if you do can you post video
I'd like to see that, too.
Where did you buy new front an back glass an the new rubber for both
Autocity classics sells at a reasonable price
@@lonestarlows Thanks
looks like Steel rubber brand is the way to go ? fits perfect?
They been around a really long time. Bad products don't live long
@@lonestarlows what's your thoughts on OER
I had some oer parts on my old 61. They were good. About as good as reproduction could be.
@@lonestarlows as good as steel rubber ?
Doubt it
LS I end with a leak on back glass what sealant do you recommend to stop it
you could use windshiled urethane i suppose
@@lonestarlows come in through lower corners on both sides
Sometimes if there is a gap I will just use some clear caulking. I did it on my.60 windshield
@@lonestarlows ok thanks will try that 👍🏿💯
What type of product would you use for a 70 nova front and rear glass?
Product?
@@lonestarlows 3m ureathane
I don't use anything. The rubber forms the seal
@@lonestarlows 70 nova only uses ureathane
@@Supanova70 I've never worked on a nova. But 3M is a good start
Start down the bottom and use a thicker rope so you don’t cut the gasket. My 2 cents.

Did you ever get any water inside the car since you didn’t use any sealer?
No

@Vic-gh1vx you could throw some silicone in there if you have big gaps, depending on the quality of the gasket run channel...doesn't hurt.
