Top or Bottom?
I recently tried to install my front windshield which I have done before with success, however this time I broke it while installing. For those of you that have done it do you start at the top or bottom?

Re: Top or Bottom?
I started bottom as well, used lots of tire lube on the rubber, rope trick, masking tape, and glass pry bar tool thingys..
Also used 2 ratchet straps around windshield and frame, top & bottom. Place long 2x4 with cushion between wood and glass. It helped keep constant pressure on the glass to frame. I don't have any pics but found this on the inter web. |

Re: Top or Bottom?
Hmm ratchet straps. Never even considered that for doing one alone. Did it go smoothly?

 I left the straps on for a few days also, kept whacking with full hand in various spots to help seat the rubber/glass.I also had the metal trim which posed more of a hassle, but very satisfying when done.  Watch some YouTube vids too lol. Good Luck!! |
