Thanks for the windshield videos i installed mine yesterday

[@darylvoorhees2629]

Hope the videos helped. It's not too difficult, right?

[@cindigoldstein384]

Like your videos. Thanks for the information, tips and tricks.

[@darylvoorhees2629]

Thanks for watching!

[@larryroland1368]

Very good stuff. I will be going through most of this soon … so very helpful.

[@johnhansen4550]

Our oldest son has a 55 3100 p.u. where redoing , had to put a new windshield in it also ! I called the glassman , didn't want a 500.00 mistake ! 😂

[@darylvoorhees2629]

I can understand avoiding costly mistakes. But that being said, I think it's completely do-able to put in a windshield on these older cars without too many issues. The newer cars scare me. Good luck with your 3100 pickup.

[@GMCTIM]

Yes sir, don't have much talent with glass, done the rest of it, just cautious over the windshield ! 👍🏻✌

looking good Mr Daryl the molding can make a old car, being Stainless steel can polish it to a new finish.

[@darylvoorhees2629]

I was fortunate that the molding on the car was in decent condition when I bought it.

[@gregburris4947]

Like your work and explanations. Where did you purchase the fastening brackets for the corner part of the front windshield molding? Thanks

[@darylvoorhees2629]

I got those from Classic Industries. www.classicindustries.com/product/all-years/chevrolet/belair/parts/TF401230.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA9YugBhCZARIsAACXxeKeeGYW17HScOyGch-XYMg8uYW_r1qhDZCldC_YfhfCE10lPtsYyKIaAudwEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@monadking2761]

It looks good. Would you recommend covering that paint with something? I would be afraid of scratching that nice paint?

[@darylvoorhees2629]

Yes it would be a good idea to do that. I knocked a spot on the trunk lid against the lift (darn it)

[@larryroland1368]

On the longer lower windshield molding, did you mount the clips to the car and then slide the molding over the clips? Thanks.

[@darylvoorhees2629]

Yes, that’s exactly how that lower molding is mounted to the clips. There’s a gap in the molding strip to allow the clip to slide into the molding strip. I had a little bit of a tough time with mine because the clip didn’t slide real easy through the molding, but that is the method to use

[@jimmy7376]

In reference to the side holes that secure the top stainless to the front pillars, Mine are about a 3/16th high? How should I correct this? I'm sure I pushed both side in too far. Thoughts?

[@darylvoorhees2629]

Whatever it takes to get things lined up. If the holes aren't in the right location or if rust has them to big, then I would weld them closed and redrill where they should be. JB Weld might work if you don't have a welder handy.
