windshield replacement question

+1. I would spare the gasket and bust out the windshield. You can reuse the old gasket, but know that it may seem pliable, but it has hardened over the years and will be morew difficult to reuse. With that said, I would first seal the gasket to the body with 3M windshield adhesive, then put some in the window channel. It's gonna get everywhere, so mask off the paint before you try to install the window. The sealer will act as a sealer, but will also give you a little slip-slip to use a nylon knife or something to that effect to draw the windshield into the gasket. Don't use anything metal, unless you want to be taking the windshield back out!!! Good luck with the install, Geof
