1965 to 1968 Ford Mustang Windshield Installation by Mustangs To Fear (MTF) Part 1

How to install a 1965 to 1968 Ford Mustang Windshield by Mustangs To Fear. Part 1

[@rickrobertson4454]

I’ve been doing automotive glazing for over 30 years and have never seen the rope ran thru a urethane nozzle. Brilliant simple tip. Goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks!!

[@RS-gh2mf]

I call it my rope a dope trick 😂

[@renderuthis]

I did it for a short time in the early 80's we never put a sealer in.

[@justin51986]

i Just wanna say thank you for all the helpful videos. im converting a 67 coupe to a fastback by myself and all your videos are making my restoration a lot easier!

[@I_like_turtles_67]

I used this video to do my front and rear glass in my 67 fastback. I did it without any help. The rope worked perfect!!!

[@MustangstoFear]

Great!

[@I_like_turtles_67]

@@MustangstoFear BTW. I will be contacting you soon for the headliner. My buddy has a 67 cougar. Do you make a headliner kit for those cars now?

[@MustangstoFear]

Thanks to you and your video, we managed to install the windshield of our 64 Thunderbird! Thank you very much and keep on the good work!

Best windshield install video I've come across....

[@jevchance]

This is the best windshield installation video I've seen. Thanks for this! I'll need it in a couple of years. :)

[@supersaulflores4055]

Nice video.👍 Maybe on next ones have a little better in lighting for the in old blind guys like me.☝️😁 Thanks 👊

[@abdullahk.kkamara5391]

Great job. well done

[@blkcoupequattro]

Sweet, love my fastback, makes me want to take the glass out, and do it again. I can see how the trim clips I can be difficult, however I don't remember having a issue on my 65.

[@MustangstoFear]

I put the sealer on the outside edge, if you put it up any closer to the rope, it will get really messy. Plus we put another bead on the pinchweld.

[@MustangstoFear]

The slapping is what makes the windshield go in easier, it helps to roll the lip of the gasket in.

[@MustangstoFear]

We use urethane in the gasket because it will never leak. Even all late model vehicles such as semi's are all sealed with urethane. I don't know of any professional glass shop that would seal a gasket set with liquid butyl. I remember back in the early 80's when Windshields America got sued because a 1987 Chev P.U. windshield was installed with black silicone instead of the urethane that the factory used.

[@MustangstoFear]

Thanks.

[@cecil6711]

That pull handle would come in handy. :-)

[@theoriginalmungaman]

What size rope? Did the factory use any sealer? I have done a few mopars and Mack trucks with the same type gaskets and they didn't use sealer?

[@cdscott]

I truly appreciate this video. I have been putting off the windshield install for a long time because I have heard it is a nightmare. I am far less worried now. I do wonder what the "slapping" is trying to accomplish? Will it become clear as I go? It is difficult to tell from the video what the slapping is actually achieving. Can you elaborate?

[@cecil6711]

What size rope are you using? Thanks for the great video.

[@TRoZaTo]

Gracias por los subtitulos en español

[@amron2006]

About the best yet a fitting an indirect glaze but I would only apply sealant to the rubber but with a wider, flatter bead and you didn't "settle" the glass at the end.

[@hotrodmtf]

The glass was already seated in, and a big tip would only make more of a mess.

[@mikenagurne323]

sealer on body is more then enough/ try to clean that 3m sealer off a light headliner good luck, and little lube [go jo\ on gasket helps alot

[@MustangstoFear]

Mineral spirits will clean anything.

[@dunlapmichaell]

I would have thought that rope would have been full of caulk when you pulled it out.

[@RS-gh2mf]

It sure does, but I put it in a bucket of mineral spirits and let it soak until I'm ready for it again.

[@shelbydave5404]

Hi great video thanks for your work. Just curious what cleaner or solvent you use to clean up the excess 3M sealer on the car once the initial install is completed that doesn't harm the paint (newer). Thanks. Dave

[@hotrodmtf]

Mineral spirits is what we use. It will never harm a fresh paint job.

[@MustangstoFear]

I think it's 5/16" rope. I have had it for a long time....

[@mikenagurne323]

i did the how to in mustang monthly sometime in late 80.s look it up

[@jeffellis9858]

Great video... will one 3m 8509 do both front and back windshields?

[@hotrodmtf]

Yes

[@antonhedrick5154]

At around 4:00 minutes...you put the sealant on the rubber. Is there a reason why you put it on the rubber vice putting it on the car over the clips and then set the windshield in place?

[@brianok65mustang26]

Where can you buy this kit?

[@dougitout2326]

I can't see it well enough-- you're saying to run the 8509 in front of the rope, but I'm not seeing much goop on the rope as you pull it out. Where exactly is the 8509 going in/on the gasket? The lip which is pulled out by the rope is what folds out around the welding seem and has the 8509 in there, isn't it?

[@arcorob]

Hello..could not quite make it out but he 3M sealer you used at first, did you put that in the SAME channel as the rope? It was a bit unclear..thanks !

[@MustangstoFear]

Yes it is.

[@arcorob]

wow..so when you pull the rope to get the seal over the rim, doesn't it make a mess inside the car ? Just trying to be sure as I think you have the best method I have seen - very detailed.

[@MustangstoFear]

Hard to get around not making a mess if you don't want it to leak.

[@RichardAC59]

How do you get your headliner under the weather-stripping tight enough, to remove wrinkles, if you put the glass in first - Unlike the factory did?

[@RS-gh2mf]

Your headliner should be wrapped around to the pinchweld and glued down solid, just like the factory did. Michele and I sold MTF in August of 2020, we started a new company called Patriot Classic 4x4, we do 66-77 Bronco's.

[@callofgeorge]

i'd probably go with the one piece headliner, if it only came in carbon fiber options.. even if its just vinyl covered..

[@cturboaddict]

Is this the same for a 66? Caulking wise? Other vids I've seen said use strip caulk, then caulk afterwards.

[@MustangstoFear]

You can use whatever caulk you want. This is 1965 to 68.

[@cturboaddict]

@@MustangstoFear I just meant: you specifically bed the seal in sealant (noted as non urethane only). Just wanted to make sure it was appropriate for a 66. Which it is. Thanks

[@RS-gh2mf]

@@cturboaddict yes it is.

[@k1neece]

What kind of sound deadener is that? Does it work well?

[@hotrodmtf]

We use Hush Mat, and FatMat.

[@hotrodmtf]

***** WE use what Lowe's sells

[@claudiojung2916]

Didn’t you forget to install the headliner first?

[@RS-gh2mf]

If you were installing the one piece headliner I developed, it doesn't make any difference. If you're installing a factory headliner, then yes It would need to be installed first.
