Windshield rubber

Post by Roadster AA »

I need to replace all the rubber around my windshield frame. Can somebody please give me some advice on how to remove the old rubber and install the new. I have the frame apart and removed the glass.
I would like to see a picture of a windshield that is all done.
Thank you for any help.

I dont have any advice but usually the vendors sell a kit with the new rubber and tools and instructions.

I think ive heard using soapy water using baby shampoo to ease everything in place easier (lets rubber slide around ALOT easier)
