Re: 51 Chev on a S10 frame, named Dale

acorn nuts are a great idea. (I think you have posted that before) I plan to use one of those upper screw holes to attach an interior mirror. (details not figured out yet)

The best tip I can pass along (from doing this only once) is when you have the entire piece (rubber seal and 2 pieces of glass) resting on the cowl ready to be installed, is to get 2 screw drivers and put them through the rubber center holes into the holes of the metal center divider, and leave them there while you pull the rope on the inside. (please keep mind out of gutter)

This will ensure that you have centered the windshields.


I did pry up the outer lip of the seal and applied sealant between the rubber and steel, but do you add any sealant between the glass and rubber?......not sure if that is necessary?

what a difference new glass makes...... seems like the truck just went from an abandoned old field truck to something that may actually be street legal.
