Next is pushing into place and pulling out the string?

Tex, there is a great set of instructions on windshield installation on the Van Pelt Sales web site.

Didn't follow the Van Pelt instructions whereby you try to first mount the rubber seal in the window opening. Instead I first put the two windows in the rubber seal and then pushed it into the opening.Getting the two windows into the rubber seal took a lot of sweating to get them in correctly. Pushed the windows/rubber seal combination in place after using dish liquid for lubricant and putting a piece of string in the rubber. Went in magically in a few minutes with the help of pulling the string and some use of the red plastic paddle. I think this way is easier as the rubber seal required a lot of stretching to fit the windows in it. I worried and put it off for several days for nothing.

Installing the divider bar. Rubber came with bumps around the holes for the screws. Had to grind them off to fit. Also had to spread the rubber/trim apart with pieces of wood. Window and trim install was very easy.

Did the window install from the side of the car and you pulled the rope from the outside?.

Yes, both windows assembled into the rubber seal on the ground, the assembly pushed in from inside the car and rope pulled from outside the car.

Once again, the complete instructions, with drawings for installing '40 to '48 Ford windshields are on the Van Pelt web site. Follow them and you can't go wrong.
