67 Satellite windshield install

[64SF]

I've read several different articles on installation of the windshield and am a bit confused (easily done) regarding the gasket. Is the gasket installed to the body first or to the windshield first.

Fit the gasket to the body first.....

I used the "rope" method when I did my back glass (which I think would work the same way on the windshield).

I followed the directions on this website which has step by step instructions and it worked well for me:

Fit the gasket to the windshield first,and use the rope method!

I'm not positive about the "rope" method for a '66-'67 car guys. I've done some looking around too because i need to re-install mine as well. And it seems as though it needs to be fitted to the car first, with bedding compound on the lower/front edge. Then the window is placed in the groove and "locked" in with the integrated zipper type locking strip. If i'm wrong please correct me, but I'm pretty sure the rope method is only going to work on '68 and later cars. The rear window gasket on '66-'67 car is of a different design than the front window, so installation will be different.

Opinions?

My gasket from Steele has what appears to be a locking strip groove.

Yea thats the "zipper" sort of thing im talking about. Im sure it has to go in the car first.

The only puzzling part is the "zipper". Is there something that is inserted in the groove?

Yes it's a Valiant, but i believe a-bodies and b-bodies to share this trait in '67 at least. Does the gasket in these pictures look the same as the one you have?

 

[64SF]

Yep….looks to be the same style. I'll keep you posted on the progress although I'm a few weeks away from install. I've also asked Steele to send me any and all detail instructions they have when received I'll forward same to you.

Voila!

Instructions for 67 Satellite install from the 67 factory shop manual. Sorry for the quality. It is a little too thick for my copier/scanner.
