I recently bought a '74 1.8 driver and a '73 2.0 parts car (part-out to follow soon). I already pulled the good windshield from the parts car and I am in need of some experience on getting it installed. I plan on getting it installed professionally for safety reasons. I have a couple questions though.
1.Does anyone have any good or bad experience with windshield installers in New England area, specifically southern ME, eastern NH? 2.Will the installer have all the parts/gaskets required? 3.What parts/gaskets do i need to ask the installer to use? 4.Anyone have any experience with the gasket used to eliminate the silver trim? (still haven't decided) I've been lurking the boards for a while, but now i finally have my car. I'll try to be less invisible. Thanks, Sean |

The stock installation is industry standard hot melted windshield goo.
All shops have that. Make sure you have all the clips for the trim installed prior to the glass guy doing his thing. If you go with rubber, you dont need the trim clips. I used triumph glass, they come to your house and do it. They have a stove in the truck the heat up the glue. Rich |
