[Tigers] Windshield Installation

[Stu]

Just been there, done that.  I put the gasket on the glass and then
installed that into the frame.  Did it twice... The second time worked
better, starting at one side and working across.  After the first side is
in, and you've worked the top and bottom along maybe 6 - 8 inches, push the
glass in toward the started end as far as possible, then proceed.  Use
plenty of soap for lube.

If the frame is off the car, consider reinstalling the trim before putting
it back on.  With the frame installed, I'm now struggling with the bottom
SS strip, and it would be so much easier to get it in if the frame to car
gasket was free.
