Called around to several shops looking for someone to install my new windshield. Nobody did windshields pre-1978. Ended up being referred to a glass installer who has been doing it for over 30 years. I had the seals that accept chrome strips. Bought them 2 years ago... I didn't want the chrome. So me and the wife went back to summit last night and picked up 2 seals.

Soft Seal brand - 9914 and 9916 - no chrome

Guy will be back tonight to finish install. I should have glass BOOM!!!

And FYI, I went back and forth about trying to tackle this myself and since I have never done this before and didn't want to break the glass I decided to get an expert.

This guy had done over 100 of these installs he says. On the phone I asked about them leaking. His response, you still have those 2 holes in your dashboard? lol. But he says he will put some sealer under the rubber and do his best to keep it from leaking.
