1995 G30 Windshield gasket

Post by BIGFOOT17 »

The 95 G30 I bought has rust in the lower corner by the windshield. I plan on having the windshield removed so I can fix that spot. And I'm sure I'll find more.
Is the windshield a glue in or the rope pull style?
I've read lots of horror stories on incorrect installation and leaking.

Pretty sure they were all glued in by then, looking at the '93 g van FSM it is.

Hi...I own a 1995 chevy g30 van and the windshield gasket is NOT glued in ...it is a three piece rubber gasket and is thick and it goes on with pressure and it gets locked by a small piec of rubber trim you get when you buy the gasket...if you manage to find a one piece rubber gasket then you just have to press it in by hand ...

I don't have any experience with this, and am only posting info I found that may or may not be helpful.

As usual with older vehicles, the info sometimes is contradictory or vague.

I'll say,

Installation Note
Note: Windshields are a urethane glue-in for these vehicles. This part is a molding set that is installed after the glass is back in place in the vehicle.
Using a heat gun can be helpful when forming the molding around corners.
