Re: [Chevelle-list] Windshield install clips etc.
Another thought if you don't want to screw it up- When my car needed a windshield (had none when it came home), I called safelite and they did the whole thing- new clips on rivets, the whole shebang. It was all included in the price of the windshield replacement ($120 I think at the time), but you might be able to call and have a dude come out and lend a hand for 1/2 the money. Just my 2 cents- Good luck!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Windshield install clips etc.
Chuck, Be sure to install your clips before the windshield is in place. I use Butyl rubber tape. It is available at most good parts stores. Use either 3/8" or 5/16". If you have never done this before get some help. It is hard to describe the process in an email. Check the team chevelle achieves for WS installation instructions.

Its not a problem,just make sure you install new clips to hold down the trim,if the old ones are bad. The real fun starts is when you put the trim back on and you have new paint to deal with..opps I scratch my new paint...Have at it.
