Windshield rubber..easy to replace??
I am about to order a new set of rubbers
for the truck and am curious as to how difficult it is to set the windshield w/ the new ones. The old rubber in cracked and split in so many places, I don't think it will be difficult removing the glass. I am just worried about getting the glass back in. Is any adhesive required for this?? Special tools??
Thanks for all your help!

Than put a corner in place, best if ur rope meet in the same place.. than slowly tug one half of the rope inword( this will pul the rubber inplace.. ) work each end of the rope intil the whole rubber inplace.. once done double check everything.. If it looks ok.. break out the beer and pay ur buddies with a cold one
