Well i would say if you are putting in a new windsheild have a pro do it. If you are putting in an old one like i was and dont mind taking the risk of breaking it and then paying for a new one and paying a pro do it then give it a try. Heres the info that was most helpfull but do a search of the messageboard and you will find loads of other info.

OH IT'S NOT THAT TOUGH -- FIRST OF ALL,LOOK OVER YOUR WINDSHIELD LIP & MAKE SURE IT'S FLAT,EVEN (INNER SKIN TO OUTER SKIN) & NO SHARP BURRS OR EDGES THAT WILL CUT YOUR GASKET) WORK IT OVER WITH A DIE GRINDER IF NESSESARY,IF YOU POP FOR A GOOD GASKET, LIKE ONE FROM SOFT SEAL, IT'LL GO ALOT EASYER (YOU WON'T BE SORRY ABOUT THE FEW EXTRA BUCKS) FIRST PUT THE GASKET ON THE WINDSHIELD, (#2) PUT THE STAINLESS TRIM IN THE GASKET,(#3) SRAY SILICONE IN THE WINDSHIELD GROOVE OF THE GASKET,(#4) PUT 1" MASKING TAPE, IN ABOUT 12 SPOTS, ABOUT 6" LONG, HOLDING THE GASKET WITH THE TRIM ALREADY INSTALLED TO THE WINDSHEILD,(#5) PUT 3/16" OR 1/4" ROPE AROUND THE WINDSHEILD LIP GROOVE IN THE GASKET,STARTING AT THE BOTTOM CENTER & LEAVING ABOUT 18 " TAG ENDS STICKING OUT IN THE BOTTOM MIDDLE.(#6) YOU & A HELPER SET THE BOTTOM OF THE GASKET ON THE LIP, & PUT THE WINDSHEILD IN POSITION.(#7) GENTLY PULL THE ROPE THRU, AS YOUR HELPER PUSHES,& SLAPS WITH AN OPEN PALM OF HAND, FROM THE OUTSIDE,(#8) A SMALL HOOK REALLY HELPS AT THIS POINT TO HELP PULL THE GASKET INTO PLACE, PULL THE ROPE ALL THE WAY AROUND.(#9) WITH THE GASKET & W/S FULLY INSTALLED, UNDO THE TAPE & PULL IT THRU THE GASKET TO CAB SEAL, (IT'LL COME OUT) LET IT SET IN THE SUN ALL DAY FOR THE GASKET TO SETTLE IN. IF DONE PROPERLY, IT WONT LEAK SO YOU WONT NEED ANY SEALANT. IF YOU RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS, START OVER. NOT THAT TOUGH.
