We used to have to replace windshields on subway crane car cabs. They used a rubber gasket and between the differences between machines and replacement glass , I have broken a few and the metal tool would crack them right away if it touches the glass. I am impressed, it is a Ferrari you are working on. Patience, experience and skill wins the day.

Oh trust me, I've broken a couple windshields! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8eheJmeyJzLmaM.html I've learned about the traps and the risks, but hand made cars with a bunch of variables makes this job always a challenge. Thanks for recognizing the worry and for watching!

Brings back memories of installing the rear window of my '88 911 -- basically the same process shown here. A steep learning curve. I don't know how you install the window on the car without a helper putting outside pressure on the window so you can gently pull the gasket over the edge with the string from inside the car -- but you're a pro. Fun to watch.

Yup, same technique. Doing this job with two people makes it easier and is sometimes necessary. I often try to do it by myself and if the glass won't go in without opposite pressure, I will call in a friend. Thanks for watching.

That was a nail biter! I was waiting for the “crack”. Glad it went well. Looks great.

Very elegant car, and great video! The GTC is the kind of car that one would take out for a long journey instead of going canyon carving for a couple of hours.

@tomyangnet 12 күн бұрын

The GTC is very capable of both. It's very comfortable for long rides, and yet nimble and small compared to today's larger cars. The 330 engine is very torqey and provides lots of grunt exiting turns, so works well for canyon carving too! Thanks for watching. This car is actually a 330GT 2+2 BTW!

@@tomyangnet Learned something new today! Somehow I had the rear connected with the GTC in my mind, but upon looking at both I see the difference with the 2+2's tail being quite a bit taller.

@@crhvideo they have a similar shape, but the 2+2 are a little more chucky.

Tom, Nice work polishing the stainless and getting the glass installed!! You made what can at times be a frustrating job look very easy. What is the name of that rich dark blue finish on the 330?

@tomyangnet 11 күн бұрын

All I can say is thanks to time lapse and editing to make it look easy. That video took at least two to three days to shoot. The buffing was the most time consuming and tedious. The color of the car is Blue Scuro. Thanks for watching.

Is their protective film for windshields, the same way exists for bodywork?

@tomyangnet 12 күн бұрын

I'm not sure, but I don't know of any. I would imagine anything but glass is too soft to stand up to what it required in a windshield. Any film is usually applied on the inside. Thanks for watching.

I never seen anyone put the trim in 1st They always beat it in after the window installed and the have a hard time

@tomyangnet 12 күн бұрын

For Ferraris, installing the trim first is the way to do it. It may be different for other cars. Thanks for watching.

@@tomyangnet The people I see install it afterwards have more problems and sometimes breaks the window. They start hitting with a hammer trying to get it seated. GOOD JOB!
