The windshield seal used to be too thick and were very difficult to install=

I've been reading over the years about what a swine of a job it is to put i=

I would concur with Jean's observation but would also add that you should
watch for damage to the groove in the lower windshield rail.
I have encountered several where the "T" shaped groove had been crushed a
little making installation of the seal impossible. I made a little tool
from the head of a flat head nail that use to open the groove up to its
original size.
