Re: 62-65 Windshield replacement

[Victor Carre <vcarre33@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just finished replacing the front windshield and seal and the rear seal on my 1964 Barracuda.  I bought the seals and lock strip from Steele Rubber Products.  Luckily, rear window was in good condition so reused it.  I bought the front windshield from Rock Auto.  I found a couple other companies that had the windshield but Rock had the best price.  I think they have the seals too but I had already bought mine when I saw them listed at Rock.  You can see some install pictures at my blog: www.moparmotorhead.com.

Would appreciate some tips on windshield glass.........

 

When any of you have had the windshield replaced, do you simply have the local glass shop source it? 

What brand glass is best?

What has it cost installed? 

Can the average glass shop do it without messing up the stainless trim?

 

Any options or things to watch for on the OEM green tint - or the possible shade bar at top?

 

Is metro the best source for the rubber seal?

 

Also going to have the rear quarter windows reset.  There is only one manufacturer of the qtr glass seals I know of, PRP linked below.  But they show out of stock on the passenger side at the moment.......
