LMC and precision gaskets work fine for me.I my opinion pilkington glass is the best although quality control is pretty much gone with all brands .all the pilkington windshields are a little thicker ,closer to oem ,and fit the gasket better but the others will work.first off i lay the windshield on my glass stand and clean it .then inspect the gasket (actually got one once that was glued twisted ,i thought that was kinda funny) .next install the gasket on the windshield and adjust it so the corners are straight and not pointing inward or outward.then remove the old glass ,either push it out rolling the inner lip while applying pressure pushing out trying not to break the glass (i hate to vacuum ).if i cant push or it has chrome i have to save i ues a utility knife and carefully cut the inside lip thenremove rubber and glass together.then install chrome on rubber that is already on the glass . tape rubbern n chrome to glass real good .that helps tokeep it together when installing .install a small rope in the lip of the rubber that goes on the pinchweld .the rope needs to be pencil size or smaller . smaller works good with new gaskets .thicker for older ones that the groove doesnt close up to good after you take them out.i reuse the old gasket a lot too.i have a suction cup on the inside so i can pull on the glass even when i have a helper . use soapy water when ever possible on rubber and pinchweld sometimes i rub the soap right on the rubber to help it slide in . .i usually start the rope in the middle on the bottom. make sure the windshield is lind up and keep checking it as you are pulling the rope . if you need to you might have to pull it in circular motion in the corners . also helps to have someone on the outside pushing it in . take your time dont get in a hurry . or make friends with a good glassman .they are not all hackers .a few of us still take pride in our work. GOOD LUCK.
