i am having trouble putting the front windshield in my 69 chevy truck any tips on how to put it in?|||this windshield uses a rubber seal. that rubber must be warm prior to the install and put around the windshield. when this is done, take a small nylon rope that has been sprayed with a lube(pb blaster, wd-40,etc) wrap it in the outer groove of the rubber seal. then lay the windshield over the opening of the truck, with the two ends of the rope at the center/ bottom of the glass. while someone is applying light pressure on the glass, slowing pulling both ends of the rope of the rubber seal over the lip of the body. this must be done slowly while massaging the windshield into place. after the rope has been pulled setting the rubber over the lip. continue the downward pressure until it has been fully set up. when you are all done. ally a trail of vasoline on the outside of the rubber, wiping the excess off afterwards. not that hard, takes patience, pressure, and two people.|||if that has the rubber all around it without the glue you need to get it out and save the rubber. i put my feet up on mine and pushed it out it was cracked and was really cracked after i got it out. glass everywhere. but after its out you have the rubber and didnt have to cut it. put the rubber on the glass and not on the body. then take some small but strong string put it all around the grove of the rubber that is on the glass and leave the two ends meet at the center in the bottom of the glass. set it in place and try to get steel edge in grove along the botom. then with someone applying LIGHT preasure to the glass on the out side sit inside and pull the strings straight back at equal amounts until you go all the way around|||I was going to suggest that you look up a HAYNES book (at the library or glance thru one in the auto store) but I'm not sure they'd have one for a 69. Check the library just in case though. 69... wow.
A quicker way would be to ask a friend or some bored looking dude at an autobody shop. If the the workerss are nice, they'll prob give you some advice, no hassle.|||just go new windshield on my 99 S 10...130 dollars cash...no insurance...if insurance 250 dollars.|||can't help....at all....but i have a question that troubles me...in current prices which one is more expensive?....the truck or the windshield?|||I would call someone out to put it in for me. Sorry|||If it has a rubber gasket around the outside, it too will need replaced, then use a small rope, after installing the gasket on the windshield, place the rope in the slot, ending the rope at the top, lay the lower gap on the steel frame, and pull the rope while someone holds the windshield.
If it has trim, just purchase a roll of butul from the auto parts store and it has directions with it.
