Hey Ross -

I'm in! I can use a bottle of the stuff right now. I have a gas filler hose, front and rear cab glass to install.

Super! Let me call them Monday and see what the final cost will be. I was going to get the gel; do you guys want the P-80 or gel? I'm almost out of the P-80 so I could do either. The P-80 dries in about a minute (in the desert anyway), which is NG for a windshield job.

Gel works for me too - I work too slow for fast drying stuff!

I put my windshield and back glass in my 48 today by myself. I had been dreading this job for some time but it was really quite easy and only took about 30 minutes from start to finish. I used the rope trick on the rear glass and tried to use it on the windshield but it got too tight to pull about halfway in so I pulled the rope back out and finished it with my fingers. There was never any danger of breakage on the back glass since I was able to push with one hand inside and pull the rope with my other hand on the outside (it helps to have long arms). The windshield was never in danger either since it is tilted back enough that it will stay in place if you start the rope at the bottom. Thanks to all for the tips. I feel a lot better now that this job is over with....

ALBUQ-F1,

Too late to speak up for a bottle of the P-80? I know I'm gonna need it.

Nope, I had to order a case of 9, and there are a couple left. Send me an email with your full name and address, please. Cost is $4.50 + shipping from me to you (at cost) per bottle (220mL, virtually same as a pint)

I used my P-80 this weekend to get my hood bumpers in their holes, worked great!

PB Blaster

A buddy told me to use PB Blaster when removing/installing window glass/rubber and it works great, spray it on and in a few minutes the rubber cuts like butter with a razor knife.

True enough, but any petroleum based product eats rubber to some extent

I used some dish soap mixed with water in a spray bottle to install my windshield and back glass, it worked great with no problems.

I've been using the biggest hammer I can find and a crowbar. I can't figure out why I keep breaking the glass.

That was a joke in case some of you missed it.
