Tried several times to get someone in to re install my Mustang windshield at home but it wasn't going to happen easily.
So I decided to do it myself.
First I marked off all the clip holders so I would know where they were when all the sealant was covering them.
I fitted the rubber 2 days prior to make sure it was correct and also to let it stretch & straighten out.
Next installed a rope on the inside lip so that when I pulled on it the rubber seal would fold over the lip of the windshield frame
Next I applied windshield sealant around the rubber and around the frame itself. Then placed it into position and made sure that the rubber at the bottom edge was over the lip and the sides were equal space.
It was a case off gravity, slapping the screen and pulling on the rope and it was all fitted in a mater of 10 minutes.
I watched several You Tube videos and found that the best one was from " Mustang to Fear "
Check it on www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr7Prioj9Xo
Time to clean up and seal the inner seal between the glass and the rubber.
Good trick That I picked up from Mustangs to Fear when cleaning up the Urethane on the screen is to use glass cleaner and a plastic scrapper that removed the excess real quickly and without much mess.
Stainless moldings back on will tighten them up after the urethane has gone hard.
More internal moldings to go back on.
Would I do it again, heck yes it was not too challenging at all and very happy with the results.
Take your time and use plenty of clean rags & disposable gloves.
