Ouch!!  My Westy's windshield got smashed in transport by an auto hauling
company (hate to see her in pain like that but I got a decent settlement
from those cretins in the end).  I'd like to install the new glass myself
if possible and have already removed the broken one.  The Haynes manual
gives no instructions, but after consulting the listserv archive (what a
terrific resource) I'm all set to give it a try.  Trick seems to be to lay
1/4" rope into the crevice of the new seal and have a helper hold the glass
up against the opening while you work from inside.  You slowly pull the
rope out from around the seal from inside the van, which pulls the flap of
the seal in around the body opening.

Soo... for anyone who has attempted this, what kind of sealant should I
use, if any?  I was thinking 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive.  And any other words
of wisdom come to mind for doing the job right the first time?

thanks,
Robert Harris
