Thank you for the great post!
I second the FAQ-worthiness.
I pretty sure I bought my WS from $OR (I'm in parts gathering mode), I'll have to check and see what I bought. I think I bought everything but the windshield one.
No doubt this post will help. I didn't even know those tools (except for the hook) existed, so it's a big help right there.
I watched a guy put in a flat winshield in my VW bug and figured it was the same, but no dice, since the VW WS is a continuous piece like a o-ring, you place in on the glass, then while holding the glass/WS against the opening, pull the WS over the lip on the inside with the hook. But this is a different animal.
Thanks again.

Im replacing the weather strip on my top and am looking for an affordable alternative. I went on the stanpro website to try ordering these parts. However, it seems like it's not working. Has anyone ordered any of these supplies from them recently?[/QUOTE
Find a local glass shop that does industrial equipment. Stanpro is the industry standard for this type of product but others are available as with most products. The part numbers stated are easily cross referanced, 1/4 " glass to 1/8" pinchweld is extremely common with flat glass. If you find a similar product post up with a good source. These are the products that I had good success with from years of doing auto and industrial glass work. Tried the cheaper alternatives with mixed results however, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Makes all the differance in doing it once and being done or doing it again until you get it right. Just my two pennies from my experience.
