Cruiser Additions and PM to keep me busy

You can install the glass yourself, it's really easy. I did the 40 and the 45 by myself. I did do it with the panels off the truck on the 40, but on the truck with the 45. Basically, you get the seal on the glass and ready to go. Tuck thin rope all the way around the gasket, put sealer on the panel where the seal will lay....not too close to the edge of the metal or it will get all over! Set the glass bottom edge into the panel, and then start pulling the rope from the bottom and around the corners while you press in on the glass. spray windex on the inside of the w/s to ease it slipping past the metal edge. You can "slap" the glass with an open hand remarkably hard without cracking anything. That helps to seat the glass evenly in the frame once it's "in". That's it. By far, the hardest glass to do was the early style gasket on my 45's windshield. The later model hardtop gaskets are directional and go in VERY easily. I bet it didn't take more than about 10 minutes per panel on those. Call me if you want better directions.

This is very good info!!

I went the easy route and had a local 'Glass Man' install what I needed. After watching the guy, it is as Barry said not big deal. I chose to have it installed vs. doing it myself b/c the is getting pissed with the process. Money well spent .
