Subject:Rear Windshield Installation?
From:Brian Doss
Date:Tue, 19 Mar 2002 12:00:28 EST

I removed my back windscreen to take care of that pesky under gasket rust.
When I removed it, I peeled out the plastic spline, and worked the gasket out
from the top down, pushing the window out, and pulling the gasket inside.  It
was a real chore.  I know I'm going to have a time getting it back in.  I
have (on other vehicles) used a cord to pull the lip of the gasket around the
glass.  I'm wondering, do you install the gasket -and- the spline -then- the
glass?  Is it best done from the inside -or- the outside?  Is it best to
start at the top -or - the bottom?

Thanks,
