Hi, On my 1970 nova all the channels are new bare metal. Should I leave it bare before painting the whole car for you to prime or you want the car painted 1st then you sand and prime/install? Thanks john

so you need to remove all paint from the pinch welds before install?

Awesome.. I s the 1970 nova 3/8 bead? where can i get that?

How do we purchase the install kits for front and rear windshields on a 1967 chevelle? Thank

Great video

Thanks for this! About to install on a 71 Vette and this helps.

Do you have the kit available online?

You still out there. They roll of butyl. Need more info. Got the sealant . Thanks

Sent an email last week, no response.

Awesome tutorial. keep it up!

Many thanks. I’ve done others. First time GM. 67 Eldorado. Few weeks

I have put a wrench to every last bolt on my car... and today learned something new. That dam strip comes in different thicknesses? Old gm assembly manuals list part numbers, but usually no specs.

Are you guys still in business??

Great instructional video for windshield install. Looking forward to installing my new windshield on my 71 Chevelle

FYI Installation kits (with step-by-step instructions) are available at www.rustrreplace.com. Look in their Glass Setting Supplies section.

Excellent video. What is the distance from the edge of the dam to the windshield edge?

Gm didnt use urethane in the 60s or 70s.

Pro job!

Great video

Great video and tips. Thank you!

Where can i buy the dam for a 72 vega for front and rear

This was the best tutorial on putting in a windshield I've seen so far, thanks for sharing!

Luke, Thank you for the help.

I know this is 2021 but I have a question.When my 67 Chevelle was being torn down it had a rubber gasket around the windshield.Can anyone tell me what that was all about? It started out as a base 283 air car.It has been in paint jail for 3 years.So this video is a breath of fresh air...I ordered the urethane dam kit already so I was on the right track..Thank so much!!!!

Any idea of the foam dam part # through your vendor?

You can find all of the products needed to set your glass as GM did back in the day at our website www.rustreplace.com. Urethane is the sealant used today with the dam . In the 1960's- through mid 1970's GM used a Polysulfide sealant manufactured by the Thiokol Corporation. While Polysulfides are still available, GM switched to Urethane technology beginning in the mid 1970's and they are still used today. This is why Urethane is used here - it is a better product. GM did not use Butyl to set the fixed glass (windshield/rear window). The reason? Simple, the tensile strength of Butyl rubber is not great enough to have met the testing criteria of the era. You can see more about glass setting and the products/pricing on our website in the "Tech/Install Tips" section.

ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WATCH A PRO , WORK . VERY HELPFUL , MANY THANKS .

Whomever invented that inverted v tip is a genius

OUTSTANDING Craftsmanship !

Hi, I live in Los Angeles Co. Sylmar, California. I own a 1970 Chevy Impala Custom and These glass shop in the San Fernando Valley want to brake the glass and replace it with their glass for a higher price. What you just did is actually the correct way to install a window shield. These guys charge between $150 to $500 to do the job. With no warrantee. I wished you were in California so I could drive to your shop and have you do my front windshield and the back windows. Sincerely Rey Zapata, Sylmar,California. 😎🙏🏽😇👍🏽

Anybody know where to buy the rubber dam for the windshield on this Chevelle?

nice,...thanks for explaining so well,...

That big black band is a uv barrier for the urethane, you are doing it wrong and you know it. Dangerous install.

I see this video is going on 5 yrs. since posted, so, I'm late to the party. I have to say this is one of the best done videos I've seen on here. Coming from a serious gearhead and do-it-yourselfer. What forum were you referring to in the video?

I want to know how to install for 68 road runner. My windshield has a gasket around it.

nice video. clean job

Dunder mifflin paper co!

As this gentleman is installing the windshield he is not sure what size butyl tape ! He says he’s going to check it all after he edit the video ..... This guy will not be installing my windshield !

this is not correct for 60's cars at all, this guy is on drugs. they did not have urethane back then. they used 3'8 butyl tape

This company is not interested in your business. After sending emails without receiving a response I called Scranton PA and spoke to Jeff who promised to call me back within the hour.Never heard a another word.

Your a craftsman! Thank you.

'My name JEFF'

Thank you for the lesson . You do excellent work!

where can i purchase the urethane dam ?

Nice job! Fun to watch pros that know what they're doing. Learned a lot from this.

Great job. I learned a lot. Thank you!
