Early A windshield replacement. How hard???

Leaks in the windshield area of these early cars often come from the wiper shaft to cowl seal so it is worth checking these also. Installing the windshield/gasket together using the rope method is the factory process. It is often the only way to get a windshield in with an old gasket. With a new gasket you may have success just inserting the glass into the already mounted rubber/gasket. I like the rope method, but it does work best with another person applying slight pressure.
