Thank s for video
That color looks like 4L Adriatic Blue. Blue CJ's are rare. Don't change the color!
Baby soap/water and a spray bottle works for this too. Try to find a baby soap that is fragrance free and spray that buddy down. It will slide in much easier. Don’t use oil as it may react with the seal and will never go away. We use the same soap for tint work too. Just don’t get it near leather…
Just got a ‘72 cj5 that was missing it’s windshield completely. Thanks for telling me about rock auto; didn’t know about it. Google failed me!
Are you in San Antonio ????
We are trying to do a '73 CJ5 right now…. but the rubber is too stiff to make the corners. THIS SUCKS !!! I am going to put the rubber in the Oven for a few minutes and see if that helps.
Thanks for the video! Can you do your next one on taping and mudding drywall 🙂 J/K man.
thanks for posting!
didn't even think about rockauto for the glass…glad I watched
Hi, Great video thanks! Two questions, Who made that frame and also
how well do your wipers work? Thanks again.
This video totally cleared up the inside/outside side of the gasket issue I was stumped on. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the video! Is the seal water tight? The Jeep CJ factory shop manual recommends using a 3M sealer in the flange cavity of the rubber seal, and working silicone grease between the glass and rubber. They tell you to use a wood or fiber wand to pry the lip of the seal…sounds like I'd break it doing it that way. Rope sounds easier, but would not work with the sealer, I'd think. Years ago I had a glass shop install a windshield in my stainless bodied jeep and it leaked. They reused the old seal but i didn't care as the windshield frame and tub can't rust. I did eventually use silicone around it. I'm planning to install a glass and seal in a new frame on another CJ7. My dad replaced the rusted out OEM frame with a Taiwan one, it is rotted out, so I was unable to get any more stainless ones so I bought a couple MD Juan ones when I visited the factory in the Philippines a couple years ago. Hoping the quality is slightly better but there were no defrost holes in these frames, had to cut my own. also, pins on the oem door hinges don't fit the upper door hinge portion of the MD Juan windshield hinges I bought. Cost as much to ship the windshield frames home as I paid for them, lol! I've heard some aftermarket seals are too thick. The one I got off Amazon is stiffer than the original.
Good video,thanks – once i figure out how to get the adjusting plates back in place,then ill install my windshield – might have to cut out the corners on the inside just to reach in with my fingers or a tool to get the plates in place so i can get the bolts in for the brackets
yep,super sticky glue everywhere,super hard to remove and razor sharp edges all over – WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP THIS THING IS – if i would have known i would have never have bought from this company (visionary auto parts) EBAY and they just ignored my messages
you must have bought that piece of crap from the same place i got mine – arrived dented in the same place as yours and also now my adjustable inner plates have both fallen down inside the windshield frame – i dont know what to do to get them in place even if possible – what held them in place before
