How to install a windshield seal

In this video we show you the steps to install a windshield seal. This method will work on most cars and truck from the 30's to the late 70's . We demonstrate this on the curved front window of a 1956 Ford pickup, one of the more difficult models.

Great video. I used this rope method on my Jeep J20 and it worked a treat. Just a point on the J20 or Wagoner because of eyebrow on the top of the cab when you place the bottom of windshield into place the top of the glass and gasket will rest on the eyebrow. However as the gasket is seated from the bottom and sides the top of windshield come below the eyebrow and seat in he correct place.

Great video!!

Great video, thanks!

Why did you leave out the glazing bedding compound?

[@kermitefrog64]

Nice video. I need to look at one of the videos for the back window but it probably is similar. Dennis Carpenter has great products for my 1964 Ford F250.

[@kermitefrog64]

One of my next projects is preparing the bed to get a coating since it has accumulated some rust.

Great video,,,,

[@hotrodray6802]

What about the auto bedding and glazing compound?
Is there no sealer in the rubber channel?
Ive had them leak with no sealer.

[@genmaxpain]

you are meant to use sealer after you finish installing by heating a non hardening sealer in the sink for 30 minutes prior and peeling the outside lip back and adding sealer then you push the lip back down and clean the sealer that squishes out, job done, bit of a shame they dont mention or show this

[@wilfredohosana9977]

I love it.

[@peggsworld5964]

Did you use the Glass Bedding Compound ?

[@ninja63639]

Now do one on the shoebox windshield...please 😁

[@jballs1118]

Good video sir question I have a 1965 mercury comet 2 door hardtop am having a hard time locating the front windshield any suggestions where can I order it from ?

Can you put a video how to install the windshield on a roadster pickup 1929

[@bigjet06]

Great video!! What groove is for the glass etc.. Thanx

[@TimCBuilders]

Pardon?

[@lifegoeson4085]

Could jus push out the WS 💪🏼

[@frogman7874]

REALMMMMM!!!!! 👍

[@cdcorrigan]

Do you recommend sealant before installing the glass or is that done after?

[@troychampion]

thx, sub'd

[@adamwnichols]

What is the difference between the premium seal and the economy seal? Looking at buying one for my 69 f100.

[@pauldormont4470]

How is the rubber filler strip installed in the gasket on a Willys M38A1? Do you use a grooved wooden roller like on storm window seals?

[@duck86968]

Looks like a lace in window

Hi. I'm getting ready to install my new windshield from LMC. On my O'l Beater 54 Chevy.. I'm trembling. Is it like you did on your Ford ? HELP !

[@bradboustead1682]

Can you describe where the bedding and glazing compound was used? My windshield is installed and getting some water in around the glass in the lower corners.

[@denniscarpenter]

the glazing compound can be used under the gasket where it meets the pinch weld of the opening . If you are getting Leaks pull back on the gasket and apply a bead underneath and work it into any voids the gasket cannot seal.

[@chucksgarage7165]

@@denniscarpenter Would love to see a video of the bedding compound installed after the glass is installed as you describe in your reply.

[@hotrodray6802]

So wait until it leaks before sealing.
Riiiiiight.

[@bradboustead1682]

@@hotrodray6802 My question was from a year ago when I had gasket on glass only, no glazing compound. I have since put in the glazing compound and fixed the leaks. It is a slow cure caulking of sorts. I pulled the edge of the gasket back slightly with a plastic tool and squirted some compound in as I advanced around the perimeter of the glass.

[@ollylawrence2453]

If your gasket is fine but you need to remove to treat rust is it possible to pop it out leaving the gasket intact and reuse it?

[@hotrodray6802]

no
must cut the lip off to remove glass

[@lynnepotts194]

I notice that you don't use any sealer adhesive. What is this??

[@donpedroelbuey8151]

Are "aftermarket" window seals risky as opposed to OEM, even if installed correctly? I`m thinking of "de-chroming" the seals on my '85 Landcruiser because the chrome trim is virtually impossible to find. There are aftermarket seals without the trim channel, made just for this purpose. Thanks!

[@THIRSTYGUMS]

What about the bedding glazing compound??

[@denniscarpenter]

The bedding glazing compound is optional and can be used between the gasket and the pinch weld. Some customers apply it to the gasket before installation. We prefer to pull l up the gasket lip and apply with the caulking gun.Thank you for your comments.

[@EcoGreensFarm]

Better method is to lay a bead of urethane (3M 540, or Sikaflex 221) around the pinch weld, and let it set up for 15-20 minutes, then install the window as shown. The window will never leak this way. If you don't use sealant, your window will leak, and you will get a rusted pinch weld.

[@barbecuebob1836]

I am pretty sure urethane is a big no no on these. The windows bedding compound allows the window to flex and it needs to. If you use urethane you risk cracking the glass. This is why rope caulk or butyl is used. @@EcoGreensFarm

Can this be done if your assistant is slightly grumpy?

[@JasonTYoung23]

yes but it may take twice as long

[@ac5015]

Jason Young that’s good to know

[@cheapcargarage]

You left out the step for the glazing compound?

[@tomasitodeleon9516]

I did my windshield yesterday and Today is raining is that ok??

[@hotrodray6802]

[@yuribreslav-md3er]

Hi
can I buy the tools for windshield repair from you?

[@jacobcammer6282]

No compound needed it's just held on by the rubber

[@hotrodray6802]

no sealer = will leak

[@nelsonthekinger]

Tough!!

[@jojodiver8706]

If you're really anal like I am, you can completely clean the edges with CLR and #0000 steel wool.
