just got the rubber gasket around my new windshield, if i had a nickle for every swear word i said i could have bought a frame off rotisserie 1968 f100 restored show quality truck, now installing the ranger chrome trim, any pointers on how to do? just add dish soap?

thanks

Dave, there is no Ranger trim that I am aware of for the windshield. Should you be referring to the Custom Cab bright metal trim, place the gasket on the glass, place the trim in the slot, use a 1/4 sash cord and loop it in the outer slot starting bottom center. With an assistant place the setup in the truck and start pressing & pulling the cord until you get it installed. Or do as I did and pay an auto glass con to install it for you.

would the auto glass people istall the custom cab trim?

 

The stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings were used on 1967/69 Custom Cab/Ranger; 1970/72 Sport Custom/Ranger/Ranger XLT.

The mouldings are placed on the weather strip FIRST, then the weather strip is installed on the glass.

 

Do you already have the trim? If so it should be installed on the gasket before the windshield is installed

 

i do have the trim, i have the gasket around the windshield but very tricky installing the trim. wondering if glass co would install both?

 

I'm sure they would, Try warm soapy water this should limber up everything and make it easier.

 

yup, going to try that first, thanks abunch

 

You will have to talk to cos in your area. They did in Durham North Carolina.
