My windshield and dash pad are both removed.
What's best for installation....dash pad first or windshield first?

Re: Windshield Installation
This is a very good question as which ever way you do it, one always makes the other more difficult to do. Logically, the dash pad should go in first as many windscreens would have been replaced over the years without anyone considering to take the crash pad out first.

Re: Windshield Installation
Also the crash pad tends to be brittle & too much thumping to get the edges under the rubber normally crack it.ray8829 wrote: ↑Wed 8th Jul 2020 8:15 pm This is a very good question as which ever way you do it, one always makes the other more difficult to do.
