How do you do it without scratching the paint?
Mine is the later style, held on with machine screws.
I've got the glass in the frame, and the tenons and stanchions attached. So=
 now there are the pieces that go against the body, and the stanchions that=
 will cover them. I can imagine somehow holding them all together and slidi=
ng the assembly downward, but I'm sure I'd scratch the paint. I tried stick=
ing them on the body using a bit of plumber's putty and sliding the windshi=
eld assembly backward, but it hit the wiper shafts.
What's the trick?
Jim
