Hi, I live in Los Angeles Co. Sylmar, California. I own a 1970 Chevy Impala Custom and These glass shop in the San Fernando Valley want to brake the glass and replace it with their glass for a higher price. What you just did is actually the correct way to install a window shield. These guys charge between $150 to $500 to do the job. With no warrantee. I wished you were in California so I could drive to your shop and have you do my front windshield and the back windows. Sincerely Rey Zapata, Sylmar,California. 😎🙏🏽😇👍🏽

One of the main points of the black ( frit) band is to stop the ultra violet light from the sun, degrading the polyurethane and breaking the seal to the glass. Polyurethane was not used on 60/70 cars. The first car to have a PU seal in the UK was the Ford Sierra circa. 1982. Not sure what the first car in the US was but I guess it would have been a Volvo.

I have both a 60 Cadillac DeVille and a 60 Pontiac wagon that have broken windshields. Both have the glass mounted in a rubber gasket. Not sure how to go yet but I will investigate before I start. This video is for "sticking" the glass to the opening. Much different technique than the rubber gasket I'm up against.

It started out as a base 283 air car.It has been in paint jail for 3 years.So this video is a breath of fresh air...I ordered the urethane dam kit already so I was on the right track..Thank so much!!!!
