    I am about to replace the windshield (and the seal for the back window), in my Ranch Wagon, and need to know how the stainless trim re-installs. Does it mount in the gasket before the windshield is installed, or does it snap/clip/push in after the gl*** is mounted? Also, same question for rear gl***. Thanks

    It's been along time but I think trim goes into rubber before gl***. When I bought the seals from Dennis Carpenter there were instructions in each package.

    I'm stripping a '58 Custom 300 to be media blasted.To remove the front and back gl*** there are small screws on the sides under a short piece of molding on each side.After removing the screws I was able to pull the mouldings out.This leads me to believe you would install the stainless last.Come on over to www.57fordsforever.com for any '57 questions.

    Just did that. You put the rubber on the gl***, install the stainless
    in the groove except for the corner pieces. Install the gl*** then the
    little screws (windshield only) and then fight the corner pieces.
    I have done this more than once.:cool:
    later, Ron
