This is the second time installing this old windshield in my Porsche 911. This time I have the correct aluminum trim which is very difficult to install correctly especially if it used and bent. Watch how I get the rubber lip over the cars flange using a simple string trick.
Here’s the first video when I installed the window without the trim.

Great job, nice preparation and (from here) looked like a pretty easy fit. What prompted the screen change? I'd be somewhat tempted to try a 964's trimless windscreen on my SC (all black trim, so no chrome anyway.)
Tom, nice job. I just installed a new windshield in my '73 a few months ago. It's a big job, but very satisfying when it comes out right. I know Mac is a lightweight racer, but what are you doing for a dashboard? A real dash would have had to have been already installed prior to the windshield going in. I still don't like the sugar scoops, but that's just me.
Great job. I knew about the string trick but i'd never actually seen it done. The sealant in those seals is really important so that water can't stay underneath there. That's very bad spot for rust..
Just wondering if this windshield is original vintage glass or modern day restoration glass. Did you source the gasket from URO (i know you've gotten parts from them in the past) or from Porsche?
Congrats on a job well done…. it looks Great!
Doing this by yourself is difficult, god job. I've done several of that style of window. String method is best. Had one person on the outside pushing with one person on the inside pulling the string. Silicon lube really helps if getting stuck.
