How to Install 1979 F150 Windshield

Installing a new windshield in your 1979 F150 is important to ensure that you have the best visibility when driving your vehicle. If you are upgrading your vehicle or replacing a previously damaged shield, installing a new windshield is a fairly simple process which can be completed with the help of another person. You can pick up the tools and equipment you will need from your local auto store.

Instructions

    1

    Place a thin layer of window sealant around the edges of the windshield. The sealant will allow you to securely fix the windshield in place within the windshield frame.

    2

    Attach the new gasket to the windshield so that the heavy part of the gasket is on the inside and the slit is on the outside.

    3

    Place a nylon cord around the outer groove of the windshield. This will provide extra support from inside the vehicle.

    4

    Lift the windshield in to place in the vehicle frame with the help of another person. Hold the windshield against the frame to allow a seal to set in place.

    5

    Pull the cord along the inside of the frame to allow the rubber lip to fix in place. Clean the windshield and the dashboard to ensure no debris or glass gets in to the vents.
