With the dash in I could now install the windshield and then finish the headliner trim. I bought all new date coded glass as the original glass was all scratched up!

i see you have a ppg window they fed you some b.s. on the date code as there isnt one in it. and L.O.F. was original for these cars

I’m no expert on glass codes but I had them put the same Soft- Ray LOF as the old glass had on it.

Yeah edgewater isn't that far from me at all! Did the car originally come from MD?

That must have hurt, putting the windshield glue on such a nice paint lol

The T/A was bought and stayed in Memphis TN, until I bought it last year from the 3rd owner who stored it inside for over 20 years.
Thanks!

Hey Pat I noticed that you never put down any pinch weld primer for the urethane to stick to,  or did you use another product?  I tried to put a window in without using the primer and after it was dried the window pushed right out.

My Brother is a Glazer (got me the cool suction cup) and butyl tape I use is the same he uses to put 8’x8’ glass in building. Just wipe it down with alcohol and stick it on.
That along with the trim it will never come out.

the way pat did it is the way the factory used to do it. no primer needed

I take a lot of pictures of other T/A and read a lot of other post and every manual I could buy!

Put the windsheild trim on all of which I had Chromed, I know it should be anodized but it looks so good chromed! If I ever come across a great set of NOS trim I'll change it out.

Totally agree with your method Pat...research is the key in any endeavor.
Great work...and I have to say the windshield trim looks great chromed
