I’ve been doing automotive glazing for over 30 years and have never seen the rope ran thru a urethane nozzle. Brilliant simple tip. Goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks!!
i Just wanna say thank you for all the helpful videos. im converting a 67 coupe to a fastback by myself and all your videos are making my restoration a lot easier!
Sweet, love my fastback, makes me want to take the glass out, and do it again. I can see how the trim clips I can be difficult, however I don't remember having a issue on my 65.
We use urethane in the gasket because it will never leak. Even all late model vehicles such as semi's are all sealed with urethane. I don't know of any professional glass shop that would seal a gasket set with liquid butyl. I remember back in the early 80's when Windshields America got sued because a 1987 Chev P.U. windshield was installed with black silicone instead of the urethane that the factory used.
Hi great video thanks for your work. Just curious what cleaner or solvent you use to clean up the excess 3M sealer on the car once the initial install is completed that doesn't harm the paint (newer). Thanks. Dave
I truly appreciate this video. I have been putting off the windshield install for a long time because I have heard it is a nightmare. I am far less worried now. I do wonder what the "slapping" is trying to accomplish? Will it become clear as I go? It is difficult to tell from the video what the slapping is actually achieving. Can you elaborate?

I used this video to do my front and rear glass in my 67 fastback. I did it without any help. The rope worked perfect!!!

Thanks to you and your video, we managed to install the windshield of our 64 Thunderbird!
Best windshield install video I've come across....
Nice video.👍
This is the best windshield installation video I've seen. Thanks for this! I'll need it in a couple of years. :)
Great job. well done

The slapping is what makes the windshield go in easier, it helps to roll the lip of the gasket in.
I put the sealer on the outside edge, if you put it up any closer to the rope, it will get really messy. Plus we put another bead on the pinchweld.
What size rope? Did the factory use any sealer? I have done a few mopars and Mack trucks with the same type gaskets and they didn't use sealer?

Thanks for the great video.
Thanks.
That pull handle would come in handy. :-)

Where can you buy this kit?
Great video... will one 3m 8509 do both front and back windshields?
