62 windshield frame
I've installed new rubber on windshield but can't get the lower frame and stainless trim on. I've used silicone spray but still no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Don; I've done this job several times and last time wrote a narrative on the procedure. If you give me your e-mail address I'll e-mail it to you. I also took many pictures so if that would be of any help let me know.

Don,
It is a chore but you will be able to get it done. The hardest part I had was making sure the glass was centered. Do not be scared to beat the crap out of it with a rubber hammer, it will go. If we lived closer, you know I would be there to help. The parts you sold me helped me out.
I do not know how many people here on the forum know Don but he is a stand up guy building a super nice car.
Don it would be great if you could share some pics here. I have a feeling many of the C1 guys would like to see your front end work and your engine work...
Thanks again for the parts...

K2,
I recently did my windshield on my '62 and had a heck of a time installing the lower channel/SS trim. I managed to do it, but it was not easy.
Do you think you could put your narrative (or an abbreviated form of it) in a post on the Forum so folks in the future could find it and not bother you for a email?
Just a thought.
