Default 69 Removable Rear Window Gasket Installation

Well, I have reassembled most of my 69 after paint and now it is time to install the rear window gasket. Does the latching hardware get installed before or after the gasket is installed!!

Other than being double jointed, any other suggestions! LOL

Thanks

Default The answer

Got the answer from my good friend Brian at Bair's Corvettes:

"Put the latches on, so when you install the gasket you can snap the rear window in to hold it in till the glue sets up."
