Re: 62' windshield question

I agree with Jon. It does not take 5-6 hours to install the trim. It may take 20-30 minutes to install it into the gasket before the whole assembly is installed into the truck.

If you have any restoration shops in your area, they may be able to recommend a glass installer.

some shops find the trim difficult to install, but all they need to do is put the trim in the rubber, and then put the rubber on the w/s, and then install.... really shouldn't take them 5 more hours.....

corts 60 did a real good write up on installing his w/s with trim at home , I will try to find the link for you , and maybe you can show it to the shop , so they know how to go about the process....

all modern shops do anymore is glue stuff in, so I suggest trying to find an old shop, and hopefully one with some old employees in their 60's that know what they are doing, and how to deal with the old vehicles that have rubber gaskets.
