Finished installing my new windshield today. All the threads on this forum ensured the project was a success. My biggest challenge was getting the old moldings into the new seal. They finally went together once I liberally doused everything with oodles of silicone. I also found roping the moldings in with a 22 gauge wire helped.

It's not a relaxing project. Actually, quite stressful.

Capt - I've heard horror stories about using silicon spray lube and windows popping out. No personal experience. I used dish soap on a windshield I did many years ago. Also heard watersoluble surgilube works well. BTW - I'm down the road in Sumter if you need a hand with your next one.

+1 on watered down soap, even window cleaner... when the dry, they get tacky and sticky. This helps the molding stay put.

I used actual rubber tire lube, used for mounting tires. Says lubricates and after it dries acts as an adhesive.

Silicone makes rubber swell.
