Best rubber spray on coating or ?

[CON VERT]

Thanks everyone, upon very close inspection it appears that the windshield is the culprit, I've removed all the crap they had used over the years etc to try and seal it, honestly they had 5 lbs of different kinds of stuff around it, all in the wrong place, the windshield is in a gasket & they shrink over time, without any sealant they leak, I've gotten a new rubber gasket & now waiting for a auto glass co to re & re it, mobile service won't touch an antique car, allot of shops stay away from them also, I've got an appt with Speedy auto glass in Oshawa next Thurs, not too Speedy in my opinion but it is owned by my neighbors brother and he has been in the glass business for 40 + years ! no guarantee or warranty etc, etc, I'll be honest , I'm a little apprehensive at the moment , 50 year old glass in mint condition, & very few will even touch it, OH the joys of owning an ole car ! LOL

Glen, windshield install on your car is straight forward, make that very straight forward. Don't let them convince you they are reinventing the wheel, most newer glass guys just aren't familiar with a gasket style windshield is all.
If your stuck or feeling uneasy, can hook you up with the guy that cut and installed all the glass for Craig's Postal truck. As you know, it came out perfect.

I'm at odd ends at the moment, It looks easy and the windshield is loose ,I actually have it taped into place at the moment to drive it ! just anyone I called doesn't want anything to do with it, Liability issue ! & I have no idea why, but these guys are swamped in work, I honestly didn't know the glass business was so lucrative ?

Old glass, no one can guarantee it won't break during installation (removal is easy, cut the rubber n lift it out), yes even if done correctly. Chances however are slim.

Yea it's a crap shoot, he says he done them, so I have to put my faith somewhere, says it not getting it out, it is putting the new seal on before install , it has to be stretched over the glass evenly ? as they are very tight ! guys on the Bird brain site say to heat the seal, makes it easier, he seems to know what he talking about.

Install on a hot day, lay the rubber out n let the sun do it's warm up thing.
Fingers crossed for ya brother.

Piece of cake Glenn. I have had many replaced and never had one F up yet. They just need to take their time and let the rubber slide into place. Lots of lube works well too. I had the 1955 F-100 replaced last year and thought it might give us some problems with the shape of it, but it too went well.

They will get it done, not to worry.
