61 C-10 windshield install difficulties - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went to install the original windshield back in my 61 and I spent several hours trying to get the rubber gasket on the windshield with no success.

I don't want to break the glass but I can not get the rubber spread enough to go over the glass.

I have put these type in on my previous 56 truck and 55 car.

I bought a classic industries gasket which reads precision on it.

Has anyone had similar problems?

Do I need a better quality gasket i.e. Steele? $100

Is there a tip or trick someone could share with me?
