Before I could reinstall the interior, I had to replace the windshield. If you noticed in my previous pics, there were a few bullet holes in the existing one. Gonzoss was nice enough to include a replacement windshield with the wagon.
I have installed several windshields over the years and this was by far, the worst one I have ever attempted. Now I know why I could not get a glass guy to touch it.
It took multiple attempts over 3 days, 3 people and one big sealant mess to get this thing in. So far so good.
Old windshield w/ bullet holes.

Windshield channel cleaned and prepped.

So with cool cat's help, after 3 days of cussing, stomping and nearly giving up, here it is installed.
