Young Ed Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Norm is right they certainly do come both ways. I do recommend the extra cash for the 1 piecer Quote
Niel Hoback Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Its been about 13 years, but I got mine from Roberts. I had to order the divider piece separately and I have the stainless trim. No leaks yet. Quote
42dodgeguy Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Guys: This looks like a good spot to post this query. Has anyone installed a windshield using the string in the groove trick? Could one person pull it off, or does it take two? Also, what kind of sealer does one use? what do you use for cleanup, and does one seal the stainless strip as well as the glass? I'd appreciare a walk-through. I also assume that the glass goes in from the outside?..Thanks guys...Mike Quote
Young Ed Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Get a helper trust me. I tried to do mine alone and it cost me 1/2 of my windshield. I used no sealer on mine. Once I put the interior trim on which pushes against the inside of the gasket it sealed up. Yes we used the string in the groove trick too. Quote
1947PLEVY Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 Ed: Did you pull the cord (string) from the outside? ( putting windshield inside of the car?) I believe the gasket I got from Andy B. is a 2 piece. It says to seal the center piece and it also take sthe chrome on the outside and center strip. God Bless...John Quote
Young Ed Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 Its been awhile but yes I believe we did the string on the outside with the gasket on the inside. You want to be prying on the thinner piece which should be the outside piece Quote
JoelOkie Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 I installed new glass and one piece gasket in the windshield in my Dodge truck a couple of months ago, doing it how Ed stated, set the glass and the string ( I used heavy weedeater line) in the gasket, set it all inside, and zipped the gasket out over the pinch weld. I DID have to set it myself, as I had no help around, but the one in the truck wasn't too bad as I was able to get it all stood up in the hole then wedge some cardboard between the heater ducts and the windshild to hold it out tight enough to get a start, then just had to zip it a little at a time, then go inside and bump and align as needed, then back out to zip some more, ect. Pretty easy. Joel Quote
ted schofield Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 I need all the glass and window rubbers and so on, cat whiskers, anyone have a source? Tederoo@hotmail.com...its a pilot house I am saving... Quote
michael.warshaw Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 on ebay there are a few guys who make glass its basic since its just flat glass. Quote
james curl Posted May 28, 2010 Report Posted May 28, 2010 Any good glass shop has access to computer generated drawings of all of the flat glass used in these old cars and trucks and can cut and smooth the edges any of the flat pieces for you. The channels are available through the glass shop in 8" lengths and they might have a source of whiskers that you can use. The rubber, try Steele and Metro Super Soft weatherstrip. Quote
