Topic: 1941 Ford Pickup front windshield

  Has anyone seen an online video of how to install the front windshield of a 1940-41 Ford Truck? I have been looking for one and only found one and he was using a modified rubber gasket to install his front windshield. I need some help. Does it install from the inside or outside first?

  outside, and fit the rubber without the glass first so you will know which side of the seal goes inside. I installed mine backwards and had to do it again. Then put a small stout cord in the channel that goes over the frame and start by putting the bottom of the glass/seal in place and having someone put a little pressure on the glass and now pull on the cord. as you pull the cord it pulls the rubber lip of the seal over the frame of the opening. Cross the cord ends when you put it in place. Run the cord so the ends over lap each other. Don't force it.
