1960 Burb windshield install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi guys,

Wondering if anybody has done their own windshield install. I am about ready to reinstall a new windshield since the paint is supposed to be done around the windshield area (hopefully) tomorrow. Have a new windshield and gasket. My friends feels that we can do the install using a 1/4-inch rope technique. AND..that the chrome strip should be an easy re-install too.

I am kinda leery about it. Anybody done the rope/self install on theirs ?
It would cost about $140.00 to have a glass company install it and I could use that money towards new rear windows if I could save it.

What do you all think about it ?
