Re: Windshield Install
Water based lube (I used the CVS version of KY) in the windshield grove of the gasket. Definitely not in the trim grove. I use qtips and kinda open up that grove as I work the gasket around the windshield.
The key to not pulling the corners of the trim out during install is the windshield has to be able to kinda shift in the gasket as you rope it in. If it cant, it will bind the gasket and pull that trim 'lock' lip out of its grove (channel) The water based lube wont get all over your dash either like a spray soap / water. And of course any residual just dries up and it's easy to clean up. The 67-70 trim and gasket are very much preferred over the later trim. The grove is deeper and tends not to pull out as bad. Just take your time. Having 3 people definitely helps.
