1959 windshield installation

Has anyone installed their own windshield? I tried with my friends this weekend, but haven't got it completely set yet. Any tips or tricks. Thanks

This video is for a 67 truck but the install is basically the same for a 59.

This is how to install it all by yourself, with no friends.

a couple of $5 glass suction cups from harbor freight help with handling the glass too.

The wife and I installed both of mine this past weekend- in our '52 AD pickup. It was easier than we thought- Go for it!
