Hope you used the rope in the rear rubbr gasket and plenty of soapy water mix, its a2 Man job one inside pushing the glass and the other pulling the rope and lifting the rubber seal.
BTW if the 42 is anything like my 40 coupe the headliner needs to be under the rear window rubber gasket AFTER you get it stretched out and GLUED in place.
Just my experience with glass/rubber seals /headliner

We did use the rope. Aware the headliner goes under it also. I'm awaiting upholstery and right now I have no reason to believe I'll see it before spring. Thought the back glass could go back in for now if I want to drive it and to keep critters out this winter. Leaning heavily that I'll pay someone to put the windshield in.
