1. If you have the antenna in the windshield mark the centre wire location relative to the body before removing the windshield, as a reference point for re-installing. Up down on the windshield will set itself, side-to-side needs to be done right.

2. I put some black silicone in each corner, 4" or 6" in each direction out from the corner.

3. Put some dish soap on the seal and on the frame, but not in the siliconed areas.

4. Run a string from the bottom right all the way around, leaving about 24" extra on each end.

5. Do the same again with a second string.

6. Put the windshield onto the car, make sure it is centred. INSERT THE ANTENNA LEAD INTO THE DASH NOW.

7. Lay the strings on the dash.

8. Push the windshield in gently at the bottom first. then up the side and across the top. (a helper is required) Pull either string across the bottom, allowing the seal to flip over the steel edge of the window frame.

9. Don't allow the first string to pull the second string out.

10. Now work your way up the two sides with the two strings starting at the bottom corner. Go 6" at a time up each side and keep the progress close on each side.

11. Work your way across the top from each corner to the middle, pushing the window seal in from the outside as you move across the windshield.

12. You might have to flip the outer seal from time to time, the outer edge can get trapped inside the opening, it should lay on the outside of the window frame. Use a soft thin plastic spatula and work your way along.

13. After making sure the outer seal is in place remove the rest of the string as a 'second chance' to seat the seal properly across the top and down the side.
