The new windshield frames should hold themselves into the channel of the frame. Line the straight sections up and then start working around the outside. You may have to pull them around a little to take out slack. If they don't want to stay, apply a slight amount of weatherstrip adhesive. I used 3M black in a couple spots on one seal.

-Use a mirror if necessary.
The top screws should be accessable once the bottom is freed up, because the window can swing out to get at them!
Ah - be gentle, of course....

Thank you for your post. I would be most interested in your findings when you get into replacing the seals. Yes, my sedan has the roll out feature for the "A/C," on the windshields. I am just not seeing the screws or hardware holding the seals on the frame. :rolleyes: <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: --> Thanks again!

I'm going to be replacing all of the rubber parts on mine, and from what I could see it appeared fairly simple.
- Assuming I can find the screws that were in it! Someone before me already went there, and left everything apart.

I would think that any reputable Windshield repair company can replace these for you. Am I wrong? What does Stan recommend?
