Thanks for the number. It won’t even come close to fitting the other way

Mine was the same way. Just take your time and it will fit just fine.

Well I got the precision seal today and glad to say it fit great on the glass, would you recommend the rope in the seal before the rigid trim?

Did you install the trim before putting the seal on the glass?

no put seal on glass,I used this soap like liquid that precision sold (palm-olive) would probably do the same thing,,,,,then soap up your stainless trim,I did left side first ,then top,than bottom,and finished up with right side,,,,blue tape each pc. once on ,and leave it even while your putting windshield in ,use soapy liquid when installing windshield as well,,,,,,go slow

ok, I had the seal on earlier and tried the trim for 2 hours and now I’m trying to install it with trim first with not much luck.

If you got your trim on without bending it that's impressive. the classic car glass specialty guy I had do mine said installing the molding first is the ONLY way it can be done. it was a PITA but we got it in there as a unit.

I'd like to see an assembly line picture from back in the day of putting that stainless on. Read a short article once written by an assembly line worker at Ford, he installed and adjusted the fenders on Falcons at a rate of 1 every 60 seconds all day long.

Lil bit of redneck ingenuity and a lot of tape to peel once I get it on the glass but it’s going
