"Temporary" glass installation

[mongocanfly]

glued? I wouldn't have thought that...if its just the rubber seals and still new and flexible you might be able to save the gasket....if they get hard and stiff I doubt youll be able to re-use it...gaskets are fairly cheap though...so id sacrifice the gasket before I would the windshield..

Oh crap, I didn't catch that he planned on using the old rubbers, Fred n' Ethel, I SERIOUSLY doubt you could pull that off!

OK Guys, to be clearer .... I'm starting with the 39. New Steele grommets.
The Steele instructions say to put a continuous bead of sealant around the inside (see pics), which the Chevy manual omits, and the Chevy manual says "13. Seal under the outer lip of the windshield rubber weatherstrip around the entire windshield opening and also, under the windshield wiper housing cap gasket, use compound F. S. 621 in gun B-182." (looks like a small Eagle oil can) This is probably a different rubber profile than the later trucks, these glasses are primarily held in with the garnish mouldings.

The old rubber is destroyed, I'm referring to installing my new glass and new rubber with plans of removing it, and then putting it back after painting the car/truck in a couple of years. The rubber would still be like new .... IF I can get it apart without destroying it. Putting it in with no adhesives would maybe make them re usable. They're not really cheap. over 200 for the both of em.
