The tricky part of doing this, is that you have to take the old bottom edge of the windshield, and move it close enough to the glass that you can put the rubber gasket that holds the glass, close enough to seal it to the glass, but still have room for the glass to be put in. The rubber will be bonded to the glass and to the body to seal it, but it is also just on the outside, since the glass goes past it to the channel. I'll put rubber cushions on the channel for the glass to sit on. The gasket will fit over the glass and seal it, as it normally does, on the top and sides of the windshield.
When you cut the roof, it gets narrower, so I had to address the quarter tops where they meet, as well as fixing some rot in the area. Lots of trimming and bracing of the channel inside the trunk too. Then on to cutting the front windshield, since it is laminated, and can be cut. Again, a tricky job, with curved glass!
