1967 Mustang Windshield Install

The Mustang was introduced by Ford in mid-1964 with very little competition from other automakers. By 1967, Chevrolet, Dodge and Plymouth offered their own pony cars, but Ford expected this and was ready with the first major makeover for the Mustang. Looks, ride, handling, power and interior appointments were all improved in the 1967 Mustang, but there was definitely a family resemblance to the original car. The windshields in 1965 to 1968 Mustangs are held in with a rubber gasket, not installed with adhesives as in modern cars.

Instructions

1

Clean the mating surface of the windshield frame with solvent and a rag. Avoid using scrapers, as these could scratch the painted surface around the windshield. Clean the replacement windshield glass on both sides with glass cleaner and paper towels.

2

Cut the tip off a tube of windshield sealer with a utility knife. Squeeze sealer in between the windshield molding clips and the windshield frame to prevent future leaks in this area.

3

Push a new rubber gasket into place on the windshield frame, making sure the outside groove in the gasket is fully seated on the inside edge of the windshield frame around its perimeter.

4

Install the bottom windshield molding to the base of the windshield frame by gently pushing it until it snaps into place. Do not use a rubber mallet as this could damage the molding and the windshield frame.

5

Apply windshield sealer to all four of the inside corners of the rubber gasket. Use a helper and lift the windshield. Lower the glass so that the bottom edge slides into the slit in the base of the rubber gasket. Gently tilt the glass back and let it lay on the gasket.

6

Start at one of the sides and insert a plastic windshield tool (available at auto parts stores) in between the glass and the rubber gasket. Slide the tool so that the front edge of the gasket pops over the edge of the windshield, holding it into place. Continue around the top and other side of the windshield until the front edge of the gasket is completely covering the edge of the glass.

7

Push the remaining windshield moldings until they snap into place. Clean any windshield sealer residue from the glass with a clean cloth.
