1941 Packard 110 - Front Windshield and Rear Window installation questions

Posted by Ragtime Kid On 2015/4/22 18:02:36

My car has the stainless trim around the front windshields and I have ordered the new gasket from Steele. It is a one piece, vulcanized design with the center separation channel built in.

Question: Do I still need a separate rubber gasket behind the chrome windshield divider bar? Steele makes a separate rubber part for this, which I went ahead and ordered but now it seems redundant as the windshield gasket already has a central rubber divider.

Also,can I install the windshield before the new headliner goes in?

How about the rear window? Does this go in after the headliner?

Any tips/advice on the front and rear glass installation and things to watch out for is much appreciated.

Thanks!
