Glass
You're welcome, I always try to be helpful .
For glass installing if you have the big rubber grommet, it's not terribly hard t use a string ir better yet plastic covered wire stuffed in the grommet's body groove with the ends over lapping at the center top ~ offer up the windshield with the grommet and trims on it and the string/nylon rope/ plastic wire stuffed in the grommet's slot and have a friend *gently hold it in place as you pull the string in by hand from the front seat ~ the lip of the grommet will slip over the body's pinchweld, if it slips a bit, stop and pull the other string a while....
This sounds much harder that it is .
Once you do it a few times you'll relax and be able to do them easier .
The idea with the string is to use the slipperiest one you can find, this is why I use very flexible plastic coated wire, next best will be nylon rope, no larger than 1/4" diameter .
Lastly plain old string or twine can be used but it often isn't slippery enough to flip the grommet's lip over the pinchweld .
Resist the urge to use hooks or other metal tools, this is how you crack the windshield .
