What I did find is that when I try to fit the glass and seal assembly to opening it was hitting on the tacks for the headliner. A lot of them were so loose I could pull them out with my fingers. I removed all the tacks, cleaned it all up, but left the tack strip in place and tucked the headliner out of the way. I tried a quick test fit, and the top still hits but just slightly. I think when the bottom part of the seal is in place and everything is lubed up, I will hopefully succeed. Hopefully I can recruit my wife to help me tomorrow and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, I can always blame her. HA! Thanks, Kube and thanks for the pics and all 19Fordy

I think you are on the correct path. If your wife is willing, I have found it easier if a person puts a little pressure on the glass from the inside.
Don't be shy with the glass cleaner. The nice thing about glass cleaner is it will dry and won't later suds.
