The windshield on my car needs replacing before I invest in a new one I have a question regarding installation.
The current windshield has a rubber seal around instead of the chrome trim. Can anyone tell me if the install procedure is the same as for the chrome trim and can I reuse the rubber? The car is a 76 are the windshields the same for all models? Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1300.photobucket.com-17452-1469542714.1.jpg) |

For the replacement you can go OEM, which will require the use on 19 retainer clips. If these clips are used there is not enough room to use the rubber replacement. It will be more expensive to keep OEM mostly due to the cost of the chrome. The rubber is an inexpensive way to replace the windshield. The rubber is typically glued in with urethane.
There is a thread here somewhere where the procedure for install was documented along with the block to space it. I know as I posted it. Should be able to find with a little searching. Mark |
