windshield replacement thoughts

I would have a glass guy purchase the glass, come to your home and install it. You can supply the gasket if you want. Prep the opening by first removing glass and gasket. then clean the pinch welds surrounding the windshield. At this time determine if rust repairs are needed. I highly recommend installing new trim clips using BUTYL sealant that is available anywhere. The trim clips MUST go on before the windshield. Ask me how I know. A competent glass guy can do install in less than one hour.

do you rivet/ screw the clips on and use the butyl sealer in the holes or just the sealer and no rivet/ screw
