did it really only take you 5 mins on the front windscreen?

what is the step by step procedure? maybe I can do it myself?

1. Placed the seal around the window, put in the lockstrip (this was my tragic flaw, make sure you get a lockstrip tool, they are cheap and save you lots of time), if it's warm it helps a lot.

2. Wrapped a nylon string around the seal 2 times

3. Lubed up with soap and water.

4. Placed the window over the opening, had someone push strategically from the outside of the car. I pulled the string to flip the seal in place from the inside of the car. (I wrapped twice to make damn sure I had 2 chances)

boom, windshield in!

Do some seaching and you can find some more involved instructions, but I think this is the jist of it. I think there is some controversey whether to put the lockstrip in before or after. Sounds to me like it works either way, but I opted for before and have had no problems. No sealant, no leaks, no noise (not from the windshield anyway) Seriously it took us longer to decide that that's all there was to it than to actually put it in. Mind you my front seal was slightly used, therefore maybe a little more forgiving, but it had been out of a car for at least 6 months. I think you'll have no problems with a new oem seal.

The rear glass was a PITA, but I was using an aftermarket seal. I'd bet money it would go better with oem.

Anthony may be able to chime in as to whether I'm out to lunch or not, I know he was going to do his seals this past weekend.
