I ordered the precision seal, see if it is a better fit than the DC. Hopefully it’ll be next weekends job

Well it’s all together finally, I’m leaving it taped up for a while (scared to take it off lol), I learned a lot from this. Use precision seal, trim goes on first, a lot of cool down breaks, need the windshield squeaky clean for the tape to stick so use minimum dawn for seal to windshield install. I’m going to wait till I have some help to put in the truck.

You rich fellers with your fancy stainless window moldings...

This thread makes me glad that my rig is a stripper!

Now if only I could get it to bring home rolls of dollar bills...

Finally got the windshield in with some help from a buddy today, one tip I’ll mention about the seal with stainless steel trim is start at side trim and windshield together and work your way to the middle.

Got the precision seal in today. Took about 2 weeks to get. Installed on windshield today. Much much better fit. Was a lot harder to get on too
Tomorrow try to get the trim in the seal

Yeah I started at the side with trim and then fit to the glass, then started the trim half way top and bottom , wrapping it with masking tape as you go. Then go to the other side and do the same, once it’s all together I removed the tape and retaped the trim and glass long ways . Make sure seal does not work out of the glass from handling it. I hope this helps, I’ve been in the same boat as you.

Got my windshield put in today. Putting it in the truck wasn’t bad at all. Putting trim in seal was way worse. Lots of dawn and clothes line

Nice work!!! It looks good.

The rear glass is so simple that I recommend it be done last by first timers, to prevent developing a false sense of confidence.
