Re: Windshield install


I can go along with Keith!

I had the same experience. Tried it myself with a NOS rubber bought at VW. 
No way! Went to a professional. They put two suction pads on the outside. 
Through those a belt going inside the car with a tension pulley block (also 
used against load shifting on the back of an open truck or so) with which they 
pulled the window in. While doing this we were also pushing and tapping on 
the window. With three of the pro's and me and a buddy of mine it costed at 
least two houres work and a lot of sweat. After paying the standard price i 
left, at each bump hoping the windshield wouldn't come out with the same 
force we had put it in. 

btw: We started at the bottom and worked our way up.
