Installing windows

Hey I'm almost done putting my car back together, the motor should be going back in next weekend. I took the windows out to do body work and i was wondering if anybody knew what to use to put the windows back in... I guess I won't be able to drive it for a while cuz i'm kinda stuck in a hole for money and to top it off i got a speeding ticket that i have to pay for now.. i need a cat and a windshield. does anyone have one that they took out that they didn't break and are willing to sell or anyting?

Your hands, a phillips screwdriver, and a 10mm socket attached to a ratchet. Prolly the same things you used to take them out.

Hopefully there is someone nearby that has one... it's gunna break or crack if you get it shipped. I got a new one installed on my car for $135 from a regular auto glass shop. Well worth it.

I meant as far as sealant so that the windows don't leak. And does anyone have a set of high back seats in some what decent condition that they are willing to sell because the guy i bought my car from left the window down for 10 years and it destroyed the seats as well as most of the rest of the interior.

Seats?

I've Got Some Nice Comfy Buckets Out Of A 86-87 Maxima. Light Silver In Color. They Have The Halo Head Rests, Drivers Side Has Lumbar Support And Adj Thigh Support.
The Seats Are In Nice Shape, No Rips,holes Or Wear Marks, They Do Need A Good Cleaning. No Frame Rails.
They Would Be For Pick-up Only, Would Be A Bit Pricey To Ship. I,m In Mid Ohio, About 60mi South Of Columbus. I'd Like To Get About $80 For The Set. My Email Is Bj(under Score)bisig@yahoo.com



Have A Good Day, Bj

If i use henry's roof tar is it going to dry enough to keep the windows from leaking or should i use something else instead?

glass shops use ureathane, well worth the money to have them install it, with all the trim clips.

Why not just have the glass shop do it while the car is there? I'm sure they wouldn't charge more than $10-$20 to install the quarter glass you already have. It'd prolly cost you $10 for the tube of urethane anyway.
