Hot Rods 1942 Studebaker Champion windshield replacement virgin!!!

Hey Guys, I am attempting to install new windshield rubber in my coupe. I have the gl*** in the rubber, the drivers side stainless around the window installed and taped.... I will be installing the p***enger side next and the clips which join them.... man I do NOT look forward to this battle.... any how.... do I install the center divider and tighten it up as the windshield lays flat on my bench.... or .... ya don't put it on after ya install it do ya??? I think that would be tough....

 

The instructions in the shop manual for my 49 Buick which has a 2 piece windshield says to put the gasket in the pinch weld first and work each gl*** into the rubber starting at the center post. Yours may be different, you should get a factory shop manual to see how to do it right.

 

Many Studes of that era install from the inside. Get a manual or ask on the Studebaker Drivers club forum.

 

Yes I took it out and it does go in from the inside.... I will try and find a manual.

 

Seriously... Ask over on the Studebaker Drivers' Club forum.... Tribal knowledge from the source can't be beat.

 

hi there, my '41 m- series pick up, you install the windows in the rubber and then rope them in place you need two people, then put the divider in,
