The truck ready for window installation
The tools I use a plastic trim pry bar and a curved pick.
I use 14 gauge multi-strand electrical wire. Nylon rope works I just prefer the wire myself. Put the weatherstrip on the glass and insert the wire into the groove of the weatherstrip leaving a few inches out at the bottom on both sides leaving about six inches with no wire inserted. I never use sealer in my forty plus years of doing glass I have never had one leak.
I work alone so I inserted the window weatherstrip over the lower window opening and taped the window in place at the top. I also laid blankets on the cab floor just to be safe.
The wire is now ready to be pulled. Do a few inches at a time alternating side to side.
The wire has now been pulled to the lower corner on both sides. As you begin to work the corners use the plastic pry bar to help pull the lip of the weatherstrip over the cab as you pull the wire. Keep the process of working a few inches at a time alternating side to side. You can also reach around inside the cab and push on the window as you work the weatherstrip into place.
Once you get the wire past the corners you have it made. Simply continue to pull the wire until you meet the center. Take your plastic pry bar and put it under the lip of the weatherstrip run it all the way around the window. You are now done.
Finished total time start to finish 32 minutes including clean up.
