Default Windshield Rubber Replacement

Late 61

Does anyone know of a video or instructional resource for replacement of the windshield weatherstrip? Thanks in advance.

That means taking apart the windshield and then putting it back together....it’s the back together that is the trick! Good luck...by the time I got my windshield mounted on my car, that was windshield #3!

I hear ya there. I took mine off and disassembled it. I did the math and figured IF I don’t break I will save money, but I mailed all the pieces to a lady I met at Carlisle and went and picked it up when it was done.
