MACKS Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was thinking about doing this myself, thank god I didn't, it took three experienced guys over an hour and a half to do both windshields.

j hancock Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Know the feeling. I have done some flat glass work but usually have the glass guy do the curved stuff.

dogg rescue Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 We decided to try our hand at windshield installations, as it turned out it wasn't a big deal. A second set of hand is very helpful, all you really need to do is put the glass into the rubber, out of the cab, then put a small rope in the channel, push the windshield against the cab tightly, and pull the rope out slowly going all the way around. A little dish soap is a good lubricant also. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40678-new-glass-for-my-96-cl/#findComment-295068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Doing both is easier than just half. Push out the old with your foot cafefully, clean up old seal, install glass into seal, rope outer edge, lube seal, get helper to lift glass/seal, set bottom first, pull rope, and finesse. Lol it's easier said then done. I've done about 10-12 in the last 6 months.
