1971 Chevy C10 Auto Glass Installation - Project Get Shorty
|
Normally these windows are sealed in with giant-sized rubber gaskets. For my truck, I'm going to ditch the old-school method of installing the windshield with gaskets by gluing the windshield in place-once again like a late-model truck. Another aspect to the gasket is that it took up nearly three quarters of an inch of real estate around the perimeter of the windshield frame. If the top was stock and I planned to glue the glass in, this would create a problem-because I would have to make up for the gap. But seeing that I lowered the lid and laid the A-posts back and slightly in, the stock window fits in the window frame just about perfect. Because of that, the window won't need to be cut down as much, as I have that extra area to play with. Here you can see that in order for the windshield to fit into place all that needs to be trimmed is 11/8 inches from the top of the glass. View Related Article
