Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

The back glass was easy peasy.

The front glass was an experience. I foolishly followed the only "official supplier" made 60-63 c10 windshield youtube video. I should have searched "curved windshield" instead, and watched a slew of those. I -DO- have a trio of videos coming out (one starting Saturday) which go through the glass installs. With the windshield, biggest tip: you are gently "persuading" the glass in. Be freaking gentle. Windshield video is coming out Jan 14th. Door glass video Jan 21. I will post all of them here.

When you do the door felts - squeeze the curved ends flat in a vice and cut off the felt, where the door felts need to squeeze behind the door channel. That's how the factory did it.
