How to remove windows
Stripping the cab for blasting, how do I remove windshield and back window without breaking? The windshield is brand new...
When reinstalling, where is best place to get rubber from?

If your not saving the rubber, I just cut it around the window and removed it. My rubber is made by Precision. It is on back order til February 4th. It was a full kit for everything(14 piece). It had $100 off and I wasnt in a hurry
. The link is in one of these newer rubber threads. I will look for it. Ive never done a windshield, only doors, so I dont know a good seal. I will be doing my first. As far as door seals, I only know not to get Fairchld. They dont fit right. Good luck.
Here is the link.

Depending on what you are looking for, they might have single items in stock. Not sure

Here's a tip for you or your glass guy. When you put the windshield back in the bottom goes in first. The only place that I would get rubber from is as JEFFFAFA said Steele Rubber. you can have them make a catalog just for your truck . It will have every piece of rubber that they make for it. I hope that your windshield does not have the chrome trim in it because that just adds to stress level.

It is just difficult because it makes the boot very stiff and difficult to work into the slot. If the trim is nice and straight, then it will go well.

I'm afraid I will have trouble finding anyone willing to try. Can't hardly find anyone to even tint a window anymore.

You can do it yourself. I did my front and back glass with the chrome trim. Right or wrong I put the rubber on the glass first then the chrome on then installed on the cab. I resurrected old cuss words and invented new ones through the entire process, but got it done. I’ll do it again but can’t say it’ll be any easier.
