B210 Widshield Question

[angliagt]

        Yes - B210!- NOT 210.

 

    I have a '78 B210 that the interior is stripped,& need to replace the wind shield

from the parts car,but if I remove the windshield from the parts car,how do I/do I 

need to cover it up from the elements?

      Is it any harder to replace the windshield/gasket on a complete car,or a stripped car?

I've got to get this together/going soon - it's been in the garage since January 2006.

it would be easier to remove a windshield from a stripped car because of the lower part of the seal being so close to the dash and because you wouldn't be worried about the headliner getting torn up. you could always put some kind of plastic sheet like (just an example) a shower curtain or some kind of plastic drop cloth and find a secure way to fasten it to the car.

Duct tape. And poly sheeting.

[josh_t]

I was thinking duct tape myself but i wasn't sure if it'd hold in the elements. Maybe some gorilla tape if it doesn't hold?

[ggzilla]

Gorilla tape is a brand of duct tape. It'll hold in the weather for a while.

                         After looking at the parts car,I realized that I have a spare

windshield that I could replace it with.

                     I'm not too concerned about the headliner (on the parts car),

as it will eventually get crushed,after removing any usable parts.

Clean dirt and rust off. It doesn't need to be spotless. Warm the new seal using a lamp before installing.

                                                I pulled the old seal out of the project (Blue) car-

or tried to.Just WHAT kind of glue did they use in '78?I still have a lot of the gas-

ket to remove.

          Do I use a heat gun,& a scraper?
