Hey there, Jeff, You're a brave man for doing this by yourself. Like you, I've never started one job to where it didn't lead to doing something else. Doing the windshield R&R project is one of the most dreaded aspects of a restoration for me. Any gasketed glass install, for that matter. I've got the challenge of the rear glass to R&R on my 67 Mustang Fastback. It would be devastating if I broke that piece of glass. I have a good amount of envy for those factory assembly line workers that had to do these glass installations on these type vehicles. The fact that they weren't allowed but a certain amount of time to do the job must have made this one heck of a high pressured situation, too much for me. Thanks for the informative video, there's always something to learn.
Nice video. I noticed that your truck has 3 point seat belts. Do you know what type of seatbelt that is? I want to do the same to upgrade to my truck since it only has lap belts.
So, how do you get the rust that’s undoubtedly sandwiched between those two sheets of metal out? I’m about to do my F250 and I’m wondering if pouring vinegar into that lip from the inside roof line above would get at it?
Not sure to be honest. I'd get a flexible vacuum hose and get up in there and vacuum the area. Then spray some rust inhibitor into the area. Then I'd pump some rust inhibiting paint in there.
Jeff are you going to install the windshield your self or are you going to let the pros do it. ? from what i have heard about these f-100 windshields they can be a real pain. and yours has the stainless trim which makes it even worse. whoever you get to put in your glass make sure that they put on the trim first and the bottom of the windshield goes in first then the top fallows. like Clint Eastwood says. A man has to know his limitations. and working with glass is one of mine. it will not bend it just goes straight to breaking.
I just attempted this on my 76 f150.. new windshield and new trim without chrome.. got it all but about a foot of the gasket in place and the windshield cracked 🤦♂️
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....no. If I were, I'd be sitting in the south of France, sipping hella expensive wine wondering if I should take the Boss 351 or the Pantera to Monaco...
Water on the floorboards on these trucks is common. 99% of the time, it's from the wiper pivot gaskets leaking......NOT from the windshield leaking. Install new rubber pivot gaskets.
We replaced the pivot gaskets here: ruclips.net/video/YMgffFkvFpM/видео.html . We're in the one percent on the truck. We have water that drips from the top of the windshield.
Oh my goodness! Glazing compound? Never. Cut the rubber on the outside, which releases the chrome trim, then finish cutting the rubber and pull it out the front. Wow.
Ehhh did you see the glass come out after we, you know, cut the rubber INSIDE? I think that point is moot. Cut the inside, cut the outside. As long as the cut exposes the lip of either the glass (outside cut) or the truck (on the inside) as I said, you are good to go. Personal preference on these types of glass with the molding attached is the cut the inside. Mustangs and cars with clip on moldings I cut around the glass after removing the moldings. If you aren't going to let us in on your preferred alternative to 3M auto bedding and glazing compound 08509 (which is what Ford used by the way) why bother scoffing? Enlighten, don't troll.
No glass man uses any sealer on a rubber weatherstrip. It's way easier to cut the rubber on the outside. I've pulled numerous windshields out of 67-72 f series trucks and have yet to find one with any sealer. @@AutoRestoMod

Back glass on those fastbacks is pretty easy, takes two people though.
These are great videos! Thx for sharing your knowledge with us, my truck is turning out very nice
Thanks for the kind words!
Been watching the f100 videos for a while, never knew you guys were in SC.
Yep! Aiken, right close to Augusta, Georgia
Great refresher video.
Thanks for posting, big Time saver, helps keep the blood pressure low,!,!,! ... lol
Just about to do this on my mustang, thanks for the overview and demonstration
Great video. Thanks for the information.
You look awesome in a respirator Jeff, super model status. haha I have a feeling my '87 Ranger is going to need the same love.
Thanks mate! I like sounding like Darth Vader. Scares the wee ones.
@@AutoRestoMod mate?
What was that primer you used on the front rusted area?
Why did u not remove the chrome trim before removing the glass?

We have a video outlining that install here: ruclips.net/video/24RKns_9wCw/видео.html The belts are Retrobelt and can be bought through Auto Krafters.

Nice job! As always! Thanks Ford
Would blue tape stick too tight.

Safety First: You get the in your eyes… that would make your day especially with vinegar.
Are you related to Henry Ford?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....no. If I were, I'd be sitting in the south of France, sipping hella expensive wine wondering if I should take the Boss 351 or the Pantera to Monaco...
@@AutoRestoMod Hahaha thats okay your keeping the "Ford" spirit alive! :)

So did you remember to cover your engine or do you now have a brown motor lol.
LOL! No, but my fingers look like an eight pack a day smoker now. STILL haven't gotten the rust color off the bed of my nails! 🤔👍👍👍
No such thing as neutralising rust mate,you took the glass out now cut out rust,weld in new steel,drongo
Why, you're not going to keep that glass, get in and kick it out.
Gloves, please get you a pair of gloves when handling anything that will cut you.
We will. had she cracked I would have snagged a pair.
Watched this to see how to replace a windshield. Not paint
