There is really no better tool for installing glass rubbers than the old cotter key extractor hook. Great job.

It's even worse on a B, just did mine. My trick to suck the window down to line up the holes is using ratcheted hold down straps on either side. I had to modify them slightly to fit under the wing where the L anchor point is, but it's doable. Soloed the entire installation and no breakage so far. You ratchet one side, then the other each time to equalize the pressure and tighten the middle bracket as well. I used a spatula to push the lip out from the rest of the rubber seal, but you can also put a string inside that seal and pull the string out to do the same thing. Might be harder to do on a Midget. P.S. Use the packing on both sides that Moss sells, mine was missing the fiber packing next to the spacer and it cracked the last windshield I installed. *The packing is required!*

I agree. Lose the music. I’d love to hear what you have to say.

PLEASE!!!! - Delete this video, then redo it without the loud annoying music! Great pointers and discussion from what I can hear, but you do not need this music especially when it drowns half of what you are saying! Whatever editing software you use, please remove the music! I hate to be that guy but I had to turn it up to try and hear but the jazz music made it mostly impossible. Sorry to be that guy

You literally skipped all of the important stuff. How did you seat the new windshield. What products did you use etc. it just went from you hammering on the old one to “tadaaaa” all fixed. Wtf
