glass installation and trim

Awesome things all. Should be easy. I'm going to do a dry run today and make sure the trim fits good. Hopefully tomorrow is sunny and I can get'er done tomorrow. Gonna wait until there is some sun to warm things up abit.

The Butyl comes in a roll with a paper material between coils to prevent it from sticking together.  Lay the rope in the channel but leave the paper on the tape.  Then you can test fit the window to check the height and also the fit of the chrome trim. If necessary  add or remove material to get the height correct and then remove the paper and install the window.  Also, a good paint stirring stick, cut in small sections will also work to get the glass up off the bottom channel at the proper height/position.  Then you can fill in the channels with urethane and then remove the paint stick pieces after everything is dry.

Quick question.

By any chance is it possible to remove and replace the stainless trim clips with the windshield glass still installed.

[tparker]

I don't think so. The windshield is inline with the screws which would make it hard to access. And mine wern't that easy to screw in to make it worse. It would depend if you can get a screw driver into the screw.

Maybe someone has a clever solution.

I don't think so.

Thanks, I think I'll tackle that after my car is done.

You'll have to change them when you pull the glass.
