What I kinda found out is the windshield glass HAS to be able to move in the gasket as you pull the glass down into its resting place. The cavity in the cab where the glass 'sits is obviously tight around the glass to make it seal and the problem we found is once the gasket gets in that cavity and gets in a bind it kinda sticks to the glass and the upper lip. There's nothing to allow it to kinda wiggle down into place.

What I did is take a qtip and put KY Jelly down into the grove where the windshield slides into the gasket. You (obviously) wouldn't want to get it down into the grove where the trim piece goes.. Just that grove where the gasket and windshield glass fit together.

Go ahead and get the gasket on the glass, (it's going to want to slip around but we know that) then wipe off any excess that might be on the glass. Put your trim in as you have been and rope, tape, etc.

Then I used quite a bit of the KY Jelly around the inner lip and cavity where the windshield drops in. Don't put it o n the gasket, I just wiped it around the whole lip. Make sure you have someone with you because it's going to make the windshield want to move around.

Get the upper corners in first. Start from about the middle part of the cab and work the windshield up so the corners get 90% seated where they'll be in the end.

I started roping in from the top. Pull it down a little at a time switching sides. Pull down to where it starts rounding the corners at the bottom.. this is where you want someone with you because the whole time the glass is going to want to slide down (ky on the gasket and cab now)

Make sure you have the secondary lip pulled in as close as you can get it, then start roping in around the bottom corners. Now since you have the movement in the gasket, I think you'll see a huge difference at this stage. The windshield will slide in the gasket moving up without having to really pull and stretch your gasket to get it to go in. That's what pulls the chrome trim out of its grove and makes it poke up.

Hope this helps you brother. Good luck with it.
