    Hi all, I'm looking to replace the windshield on my '64 Mercury Marauder - already have the gl*** and seal, but need a reputable person to do the installation properly. My car is in the Torrance/South Bay area and I'm looking for a mobile type service. Any recommendations are most appreciated!

    I don't know about that area but around here there are guys who work in a number of gl*** shops that take on side jobs installing gl*** for rodders and other car folk at the person's home shop.

    I don't know if he does off site installs but Riverside Street Rod Gl*** has always done right for me.

    Should be pretty easy for an older shop. Back in the early 80's I worked for a gl*** shop. We did older cars all the time.
    Two people, some soapy water, a long piece of 1/8" or 3/16" dia. rope...set it in place and start pulling the rope gently, a coupla slaps once in place to seat it...your done.
    Make sure that they know how to install older, rubber mounted gl*** before they start.

    Thanks 1320G***ER - I called National and they're not doing old stuff anymore.. They referred me to John at C&J Gl*** who has been at it forever. I called him and he doesn't do mobile service so it looks like I'll be taking it in to him.
    Thanks everyone else for weighing in! IMG_0117.jpg

    That's an easy one to install, let them look at it first. You may need a gasket.
     
  8. well that's strange that they stopped doing older stuff, they just did front and rear gl*** on a 55 Chevy for me, guess they only do the old stuff for long time customers? let us know how C&J Gl*** does if you end up using them
