Windshield replacement

[fritolay]

i installed my windshield myself in my 92 ram 50. cut lut the old glass with an oscillating saw cleaned off the old rubber as best i could. bought 2 tubes of adhesive at my local parts store. used a standard caulking gun to apply a bead around the edge and set the glass. that was 2 years ago no leaks no problems. the only thing i should have done differently was replaced the retainer clips for the windshield trim.

nice thing about the design of our 2nd gens window trim retainer clips is that they can be replaced separately without removing the glass. you may have to trim the adhesive that pushed out along the sides a bit with a razor though. the clips just slide in place over little studs that stick out a bit. new clips are available from different places too, i bought a box of them, they fit older mitsubishis and hyundai cars. for removing the old glass i used a thing i bought called a long knife. it worked much better than the windshield removal tool i bought at harbor freight which ruined one perfectly good windshield i had about 90% cut out
