I reinstalled the windshield and the rear window on my 1963 Studebaker Avanti using this same method. One thing that helps make it easier is to mix a little dish soap and water (about 50:50 ratio) in a cup and rub that onto the rubber seal. It lubricates the rubber and makes it slide over the edge of the window opening more easily.
Thank god this video exsists, I have a 1977 Quadravan club wagon and it sat for 15 years without a side window. Couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to put it back in

I'm about replace the side window of my 70 bronco. As for the SEALER, what do you suggest? I'm not sure which is best the 3M 08693 [1] or the Permatex 81730 [2]? The former seems to be for mounting glass on surface directly. So I'm not sure how well it will hold the rubber window seal to the window frame. Suggestions?

That makes little sense! This is a EB Video. That being said, Ebay has inexpensive window glass for most vehicles, and it will run between $100-200 for install labor.

It's also a good idea to set the rubber gaskets out in the sunlight if possible to soften it up to make it more plyable.

Glad we could help :)

I was hoping to hear a price on a windshield for a 57 Chevy also installment a ballpark figure of what it's going to run me?

The factory did not use sealant.
