: Do you have a link to the windshield

: Note that Jim used KY lubricant instead
: of soap (as do I). I don't have a
: preferred cord stock but I do suggest
: something large enough in diameter so
: you can get a good grip on it.
:
: In the links above you will see them
: using various sealers. I do not use
: any if I am installing new rubber on a
: rust-free tub. I do not like the mess
: the sealers make.
:
: Do not work alone. Have a helper push
: the glass down/in as you work the
: cords.
:
: The hardest windshield install I have
: had was on our '72 Spitfire which still
: has the stainless trim strip that
: "snaps" into the rubber seal.
: Other British cars I have use a plated
: plastic lock strip that is much easier
: to install. If you are dealing with a
: car with the metal trim, read up a lot
: on what others have done to get that in
: place.
