Windshield install tip (1 Viewer)

[jobispo]

I was hesitant in installing my windshield due to some of the threads that I have read where they mention it is a multiple person job. Well I set up some friends to help me out but they slept in and due to me being impatient I figured I would use a ratchet strap to hold the window and press it in a bit... Eureka- It worked.

I am not sure if anyone has tried this but I thought I would share.

I still wouldn’t try it. The last time I replaced my windshield a loooooong time ago, I took it to a professional windshield shop and I watched 2 guys with experience struggle mightily to get it installed.
Congratulations on your solo install.

Yeah, wait until it cracks so bad you have to drive 1200 km home with that on there. Of course the tree falling in it didn't help.
I agree, it works!! LOL!! J
