1964 Chevy Chevelle Windshield Replacement - Corrected Vision

The same self-priming sealer is also applied to the windshield frame, keeping dirt and other contaminants out of the final sealing area.

Surround the entire frame with an even bead of windshield sealer. Products such as Sika's line of Sikaflex 220+ and 3M Window-Weld Auto Glass Sealant are perfect choices. Real pros like Castro can pull the gun pretty far from the car, however, unless you have a lot of experience, we wouldn't suggest this.

With the sealer still tacky and wood alignment blocks in the channel, we went ahead and fit the new windshield. Regardless of your application, the glass can be heavy, so it's a good idea to have an extra pair of hands to assist you.

Alignment is critical. Apply pressure on both sides of the glass to move slowly on the sealer. Once the glass is centered, you can apply additional pressure from the outside and around the entire frame to set it into place.

When it's time to reinstall the windshield molding, it's best to start on one corner and work around the windshield. If you haven't already done so, take the time to clean up the trim. A basic buffing wheel and rouge will quickly bring back the luster.

To secure the molding onto the retaining clips, it's best to apply pressure with the flat of your hand.

To avoid unsightly dents and dings, be sure to use a molding tool or a small screwdriver to make final alignment adjustments to the molding.

The result is a crystal-clear windshield that enhances the look of your project and will provide exceptional visibility for years to come.
