How do you install 1955 Chevy pickup windshield?

Answer 1

You have to carefully remove the chrome trim there is a special tool, but you can use anything really flat to do it, you have to fish around under it until you hit the fasteners, then try to pop them loose. How you do that depends on your make and model.There is a special tool to cut the window out also, basically it's piano wire with a couple handles, sold in most resto catalogs, you will need a helper to do it, also you will need some window silicone, on a 55 probably a replacement seal, a few extra trim clips and a wire wheel that goes on a drill for cleaning up the channel when you are done (thinner than the channel so it can bottom out). It's labor intensive but not real tough if you are patient. get a couple catalogs and get familiar with the actual clips on your model and how they retain so you know where to push or pull or which side so you don't damage your trim. Usually they are retained by body nails or slide in a groove.
