Re: Window install/descent into hell


As Phil described his headliner install, I too have had a "wimpering
and babbling threshold" "descent into hell".  
	Tonight, on the last push of the windsheild, 99% done, it cracked.
	Here's what I learned:
* It's worth $50 to have it done for you
* Don't use soap to put the SEAL onto the GLASS, or it will constantly
fall off later
* Now I know why everyone uses CAL look rubber, it's easier.  Still
waiting for the easy way to put in the trim.  Yes, I was trying before
it was on the car, VERY frustrating operation.
* Using a nylon bicycle tire lever will not tear the rubber or scratch
windows and paint.  It will allow you to backtrack if you make a
mistake.
* In the hazy later stages of this kind of work, dont loose control and
energetical thump the glass when that last corner needs tucking.
