I called my local glass shop, they came and installed a new one for $150. Not even worth attempting yourself! that included the glass! I supplied the gasket

Re: 62 Windhsield Install

I've done it successfully.

Use plenty of lube or soapy water,

a fresh new weal and a little patience.

Start from the bottom, with a helper and slowly work you way up while someone applies constant pressure from the outside.

Re: 62 Windhsield Install

I have had mine out and in a few times - most recently to install a weatherstrip with stainless trim.
Doing the non-stainless weatherstrip is pretty easy. Not so with the stainless.

Which do you have?
Greg.
