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. 😎🙏🏽😇👍🏽

[@MikeHicksTheTrombonePlayer]

Hey Ray, I'm in Sylmar as well, what did you end up doing? I'm ready to do this to my 70 El Camino, and could use a bit of help!!! respond!

[@ronc3288]

One of the main points of the black ( frit) band is to stop the ultra violet light from the sun, degrading the polyurethane and breaking the seal to the glass. Polyurethane was not used on 60/70 cars. The first car to have a PU seal in the UK was the Ford Sierra circa. 1982. Not sure what the first car in the US was but I guess it would have been a Volvo.

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

[@davidlindsey4237]

Great video

[@flinch622]

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.

[@rmchevelle]

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?

[@MrJudges4u]

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

[@jakefriesenjake]

Pro job!

[@AO-xr8mk]

Hi Jeff, I have a 70 corvette that no one seems to know how to properly install the windshield. Do have any videos on a C3 corvette? Thanks for the help.

[@billtaylor4224]

I have both a 60 Cadillac DeVille and a 60 Pontiac wagon that have broken windshields. Both have the glass mounted in a rubber gasket. Not sure how to go yet but I will investigate before I start. This video is for "sticking" the glass to the opening. Much different technique than the rubber gasket I'm up against.

[@kmmgcovers4243]

Bill Taylor duster 1972 side. Window felt remove them

[@johnnawrocki4079]

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

[@plastic1492]

Hi Jeff, i have a mid year corvette question >> do you use the o.e.m. rubber gasket on the front windshield >> i just had mine installed with the gasket and that bedding compound the corner stainless trim doesn't seem to fit right ..>> do you have any videos on installing a mid year front windshield ?? thx i wish you lived closer

[@dgomes4464]

great to the point instruction.. I'm just now doing my research for my 74 trans am. can you tell me is caulking used or needed for my application ? TY

[@OldviSinger]

thumb up 52 !!

[@BradWilkins]

Including video of removing trim and reinstalling trim would have been helpful.

[@michaelpeterson4348]

Brad Wilkins If you don’t know how to do that you should not be working on a car !

[@gesu925]

@@michaelpeterson4348 lmfao what a weak comment how's a person going to learn about these old cars if they can't ask a fuckin question

[@markflierl1624]

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

[@Supanova70]

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

[@johnschuster9192]

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!!!!

[@JamesAdams-bd9df]

Does the pinch weld need to be bare metal or should it be painted before installing the glass

[@json707]

James Adams not bare metal... bare metal rusts... primer it and paint first

[@mrmanitoba]

Whomever invented that inverted v tip is a genius

[@Supanova70]

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

[@Supanova70]

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

[@jboxjohnny1176]

Do you have the kit available online?

[@PAKfromFYCB]

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

[@MrChulo1969]

where can i purchase the urethane dam ?

[@robrob1596]

I want to know the same thing! No reply?

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

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

[@jasonlazenby8120]

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

[@dyingforpie6879]

Are you guys still in business??

[@stoneyswolf]

How much is the kit? Nice work BTW.

[@json707]

Waiting on this answer as well

[@brianstyles9687]

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

[@tomt13579]

That urethane system is not primer less if applied to glass without a frit band like you have done,

[@aceautoglass44053]

that's true. not sure i have ever seen that foam dam in that year and i have done tons of them and those went in with roll kits 3/16" still was a nice install

[@triplemarc]

looks perfekt can you tell me where I can get the kit and the seal? reg marc

[@mgs2rx]

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

[@mgs2rx]

I have sent an email, but apparently, according to other posts here, I will not get a reply from Jeff regarding the Dam for the windshield. I have been scouring the web looking for it but everything is the sticky 3M ribbon that doesn't seat the windshield depth properly. I need help!

[@mgs2rx]

FOUND! Belden Speed & Engineering. Two different dam thicknesses and the urethane and primer used in this video!

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.

[@michaelpeterson4348]

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 !

[@raychap8594]

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

[@michaelpeterson4348]

Sir, I’m getting ready to replace a windshield in a 1977 Camaro did this car originally have a PPG or LOF windshield in it ?Is that all I need is 3/8” x 3/8” ? 3/8” x 1/4” butyl tape ?

[@E-Z_Gaming]

no chevy did not use butyl tape.

[@JohnSmith-bx1mp]

@@E-Z_Gaming they did though.

[@jakefriesenjake]

@@JohnSmith-bx1mp I do think that Camaro used buttyl tape. But every where I check, it seams to suck in the hot sun. Urathane and "the damn" is the way to go!

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