I did the windscreen and hatch glass on my 74 GT just recently. It is very
difficult to get right. Get the correct tool for placing the inner rubber!
I think Moss has it. It will not be very easy without it. Use pliable but
non harding sealant. (glass stores have it). I used spray silicone for
lubrication while laying in the rubber. Also get some plastic tools that
glass shops use, its just a plastic wedge used to manipulate the rubber
without slicing it. Best of luck.
