Put the gasket onto the windshield and wrap a piece of 1/4" braided nylon rope into the pinchweld slot all around the gasket - it should cross at the top. Next comes the trim - put it in and use some masking tape to hold it in place.
Now you're ready to put in the windshield. This is where the helpers come in, because you're going to start installing the windshield from the top. It's one of only two I know of that are best done this way - the other was the old Jeep Wagoneer. You want to make sure you get those top corners in, and just pull the rope gently while your helpers push the glass against the pinchweld. Glass cleaner works well as a lubricant, and it's much easier to clean up than soapy water.

Most installs of this I’ve seen start on bottom. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
