Trouble with windshield install. Question

[rustyrodknocker]

you can usually tell the quality of rubber by how it fits the windshield out of the truck. to sloppy will be a pain. to much rubber between the window and the truck. so tight that you can barely get it on the glass is a pain. constantly tries to roll off the glass. mine was so sloppy on my 68 I could not keep it on the glass long enough to get started, so i put it on the truck and pulled it in with a string while pushing down on the window to keep pressure on the rubber. by myself. went well, maybe 15 minutes. two strings. one for the top and one for the sides and bottom. suspect your rubber first. I just bought two for my 66. the lmc was 2 1/2" longer than the winshield. and the steele was so tight that two men could barely pull it on the glass. took an hour and some dam sore fingers.
