Replacing the windshield ?

[boxerharley]

Has anyone replaced the front windshield? I got a new seal from Toms and was wondering if anyone has tips on how to put the window back in ?????

A smal rope 1/4" and some dishwashing liquid, a few screw drivers andit should go in real easy

Put the rope around the top to the bottom, set the WS in at the bottom and pull the rope slowly and get the corners started at the bottom you may have to use the SDriver on the corners and be easy and keep presher on the WS from the outside pull up on the rope on the sides slowly and you have to work boath sides to the top corners and pull rope to centeras you work with some presher until it is all the way in. Good luck! It helps to do it with two people.

I used plastic coated wire in the same manner as above The recommendation for two people is almost a must. If something goes wrong you might be screwed without the other set of hands.

Small detail, seal goes on glass first.

very simple I have done many by myself soak the rope in soapy water throw the seal on the glass wrap the rope around it put it up there in the frame pick a corner and start pulling the rope back into the cab

I just did it by myself the other day. Pretty simple using the rope trick. Really easy with the top off. If the top is on then two people would be alot safer.

any sealer at all?

No sealer and there is a top and bottom. The top is narrower if I remember correctly, seal and glass.

Does the rope go in the channel?

 

[Deano]

It goes in the Chanel of the rubber seal after you put the seal around the WS glass.

And if you have the chrome trim, it goes on before it goes in the frame.
