    I've removed the windshield and back glass in order to replace the weatherstripping. Anyone got any trips or tricks for putting them back in? All help appreciated.

    Tip #1 - Have someone else do it !!

    Seriously, take it to a professional glass installer. It is not an easy task that takes a minimum of two people and a hefty dose of Prozac..

    Before you go to a professional to install your glass, ask them if they have ever installed glass on your model/year of truck. Also, ask for references (for your model/year, if possible).

    A confident business person will say that he/she can install anything. Some can and some can't - I seen them make all sorts of excuses about why they could not properly install a '54 windshield that has the stainless inserts.

    I know this is an older post but If it is a split windshield it is a simple task. Use a piece of strong cord to pull the rubber into position after laying in the glass.
