Been watching some instructional videos. How in hell do they not tear new gasket with hook tool?! Considering replacing mine with one helper. May just have glass shop do it though. I got a new windshield also from LMC. Mine looks to be de-laminating some so I figure now is the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K652zEpZM8A

They are pulling on that thing with what looks like a metal hook so hard! I feel like if I try that mine is going to rip lol.

That tool has a small ball on the end, not a point.

I've seen some vids of people using the string or cord.
Trying to find someone who's familiar with these older types ain't going to be easy around my area. I'm going to make a few calls, and if I'm not confident they know what they're doing, I'm going to give it a shot with my brother.
Thanks.

A lot of big trucks still use a rubber gasket. Anybody that installs auto glass should know how to install the glass with a rubber gasket, but some are more skilled at it then others. If your talking with a glass company that doesn't like to deal with the rubber, go find a different shop, they are trying to tell you they don't know what they are doing. My new glass guy guarantees a no leak with rubber gasket, the last shop wouldn't do such a thing, and nearly every window with a rubber gasket he did leaked. Gene Sounds good Gene. Thank you. Larry

I don't know what LMC charges for a windshield but any of the auto glass places can get a windshield for those trucks. They are pretty cheap too. There aren't a lot of places up here to get stuff like this done so even the Safelite guy said there would be no problem doing my two trucks. They had windshields in stock. They are the same from 72-93.
