Glass installers typically say this...they dont want to fuss
with old weatherstrip...they like them to be nice and new and
pliable.
I removed a windshield (1959 bubble) from a parts car by
cutting the rubber. I also removed the windshield from my convertible (1959
bubble) by applying dishsoap and WD-40 to the weatherstrip, then
carefully "unzipping" it. I cleaned up the weatherstrip, and when I couldnt get
a glass shop to install it without whining, I did it myself, with no
accidents.
And Gary Goers is an excellent source of
weatherstrip, a member of this List, and a good guy. I think you should ask
your advisors WHY they advise against Gary..

Subject: [FWDLK] Rear Window....&
Thanks
First, Thanks to all for the help with locating a
windshield for my 1955 Belvedere Sport Coupe. I've found one, at one of
the sources provided, and I'll get it shipped soon. Now, I have a
problem with the Rear Glass. Apparently, in order to install a
headliner, the rear window must be removed and the headliner clipped, or
tucked, underneath the window mounting. The rear window is in good
shape, but the installer has said that the best way to remove it safely,
without fear of breaking it, is to cut the window rubber. I asked at the
windshield sources, but two of them said no, and one said probably, for about
$100.00.
I was advised one place to stay away from, (Gary
Gowers), but does anybody have other ideas?
